The war room of the Sanctuary was a circular chamber carved from living crystal, its walls inscribed with maps that updated themselves through magic Nox did not pretend to understand. The crystalline surfaces caught and reflected the soft light that emanated from orbs floating near the ceiling, casting the entire space in a pale silver glow that made the gathered warriors look like ghosts debating the fate of the living.
At the center of the chamber stood a massive table of polished obsidian, its surface glowing with a three-dimensional representation of the terrain surrounding Gorok's fortress that rotated slowly as they discussed their options. The Crimson Spire itself dominated the display, a floating fortress of impossible architecture that seemed to mock their attempts at strategy simply by existing.
