"Oh, I will. But remember, little sister… empires are based on alliances. Choose yours wisely." The air between them crackled with tension. Freda didn’t blink. "I already have." Daniel’s smirk grew. "Then let’s see how strong it really is." Long after Daniel had departed, Freda could still hear his remarks. "Allies are the foundation of empires. Pick yours carefully."

The Iron-Grave was a floating necropolis, miles wide, its architecture a grotesque fusion of fossilized behemoth bones and the same starlight-iron that powered our Spire.
