Capítulo 291: Shards of Living Shadow

As Arran followed Karanos through the doorway, he was immediately startled by what he found within the chamber that lay behind the thick steel doors.

He instantly Sensed that this chamber had its own formation, concealing its contents from any outside of it. The formation had withstood the ravages of time every bit as well as those protecting the outer part of the dungeons, and although it had not blocked Shadow Essence from flooding the chamber, there was more than just here.

The chamber's high walls were filled with intricate patterns of Essence — Force, Fire, and other kinds that Arran did not recognize — that shone like beacons amid the darkness, and Arran observed them in astonishment.

He realized at once that these patterns weren't wards or seals, but what their purpose was, he could not say. It almost seemed like they had no purpose at all — as if they were decorations, but ones that only mages could appreciate.
