The scene opens on a sweeping vista of the Eternal Nocturne, where the horizon is a seamless blend of ink and amethyst. Jagged spires of black basalt rise like claws from the earth, their peaks adorned with heavy obsidian banners that ripple in a ghostly wind. At the heart of this architectural nightmare sits Empress Nyxera. She does not merely occupy the throne; she consumes it, the shadows around her undulating like living creatures, responding to her every whim. She is the undisputed apex of this magical wasteland, a sovereign whose mercy is as rare as the sunrise, and whose power is the only law recognized by the trembling millions beneath her gaze.
