The interior of the Central Fortress was far more magnificent than it appeared from the outside.
Stepping through the main gate, the first thing that met the eye was a grand hall with a thirty-meter-high domed ceiling.
The dome was inlaid with countless glowing crystals arranged in a complex Star Map, casting a soft yet bright radiance.
The hall's floor was paved with neatly cut black stone slabs, polished to a mirror finish that reflected the figures of the Wizards coming and going.
A subtle hum from intersecting Energy Fields filled the air, along with the faint scent of Purification.
'The Purification Array here must be at least Tier Two, perhaps even higher.'
Unlike the noisy square outside, the fortress interior was exceptionally quiet.
All those present were Official Wizards, dressed in robes of various colors. Their auras were composed and their steps unhurried.
