At the heart of Velmora, the capital of the Demon Empire, stood King's Cathedral, a dark Gothic structure, its two prominent, incredibly tall spires piercing the sky.
The Demon Academy was holding a commissioning ceremony for the seventeenth graduating class of its military institution. Cadets from all five houses comprising the demon army were in attendance.
Inside the King's Cathedral, looking down from a high vantage point, one could see rows upon rows of wooden benches filled with cadets. From the entrance, a long red carpet leads up to the altar, which is set on a raised platform.
Sunlight streamed through the enormous stained-glass windows at the far end, casting a luminous glow on the altar area.
