Golden and silver embroidery adorned the grand hall of the castle, illuminated by a magnificent chandelier crafted from countless gems and Soul Stones.
On the wall opposite the hall's entrance, atop a raised platform, stood two majestic thrones, each designed in the shape of the gaping maw of an ancient beast that even the oldest of the Banes could not identify.
A few steps below them, another seat was embedded. Before this seat stood a young man with ethereal golden hair and shimmering eyes of the same hue.
Below them, on the floor level, six large seats were arranged—three on each side of the red carpet that stretched all the way to the King's throne.
Before these six seats stood the six Sect Leaders of the Banes.
On the second floor of the hall—still positioned lower than the grand thrones—stood Lunaria. Beside her, a young goddess who had yet to fully mature but already rivaled Sylvaris in beauty stood with effortless grace.
