Chapter 423: The Benefactor's Reach, Pt 3

Taloren Prime, Throne System, Imperial Domain of the Boundless Drogar

Night had fallen on Sudorath City, yet another of the massive domed floating cities that dominated Taloren Prime’s ocean surface. Unlike most, Sudorath was hyper specialized and was focused almost exclusively on industry.
