"There it is, the City of Order," Ryan announced, pointing towards the horizon where a majestic city stood encircled by rivers, its towering yellow walls shimmering under the light of the crystal-clear sky. A cobblestone path, teeming with adventurers in vibrant convoys, snaked from their feet towards the city gates.
Philip's eyes widened in awe. "It's immense, almost rivaling Orario itself in size!"
Cavin nodded in agreement. "If you think of Orario as the surface world's grand entrance, then consider this the subterranean equivalent. But remember, none of these safe floors were given freely; they are all hard-won sanctuaries from an era dominated by ancient demons and cunning sages."
