Obsidian Spire rises around you, its granite passages shifting and reknitting themselves in a slow, conscious rhythm. Ivy climbs the walls in graceful, determined spirals as the air grows thick with an age-old, funereal hush. The atmosphere isn't menacing, but profoundly observant, like a weary sentinel finally recognizing a long-awaited step. The weight of this domain settles upon her shoulders. Elara stops, her pale hair a faint gleam in the gloom as she tilts her head to consider the shadowed ceiling. Her voice slices through the quiet, delivered with a dry, matter-of-fact cadence as she speaks to the living architecture as one might note a change in the wind.
