The pitch-dark palace stood at the foot of a mountain under the night sky, its soaring towers lost in the darkness, its outer walls made of massive stones with not a hint of decoration.
A sinister silence filled the air around the palace, with only the whistling of the wind echoing through the emptiness.
As people approached the palace, they could feel a powerful enigmatic force, not emanating from the palace itself, but from the powerful monarch sitting within it.
Inside the palace's great hall stood hundreds of nobles from Radiance Island, all Extraordinary Exponents clad in black robes, their proud faces adorned with black makeup, looking quite eldritch and discomforting.
Upon entering the palace, the party from the Fischer family saw the stairway in front of them gently ascend to a throne of dark gold at the very top.
There, upon the throne, they finally met the imposing figure, the great overlord of the Radiance Archipelago, "Spirit Communicator."
