Riftrock City – Bloodstone Pass
At the bottom of the canyon, a rift tore through the air as the Godslayer strike team emerged one by one.
A colossal city gate, hundreds of meters tall, loomed between the canyon cliffs. Its golden walls shimmered with a harsh metallic luster, and above it fluttered a battered, bloodstained banner marked with a golden dragon sigil.
The emblem was different from the current Golden House of the Empire. The dragon's eyes were closed, its expression solemn—carrying a heavier, more ancient authority.
Suddenly, an orange light shimmered across the sky.
[No flight allowed below Domain Lord-Class. Aerial creatures forcibly grounded.]
"Who goes there?! Why have you trespassed into Bloodstone Pass?!"
A thunderous voice echoed down as dozens of soldiers appeared atop the golden ramparts.
These NPCs were nothing like standard imperial troops. They wore white headscarves, enchanted grappling gear on their backs, and golden curved scimitars at their hips.
