The dying light of the sun casts long, jagged shadows across the ruined plaza of the fallen capital. High above the wreckage, Malakor reclines upon a throne of blackened iron, the lethal spikes of her midnight armor shimmering under the oppressive gloom. Despite the devastation surrounding them, her gaze is not one of malice, but of a heavy, quiet tenderness. She looks down at the captured human leader, her expression a complex blend of imperial authority and sincere empathy.
