Cold wind wailed across the northern plains. A echo of a banshee like hum that carried snow with each whirling gush, as shadowy clouds overtook the moonlight. Though high in the air, a palace stood illuminated by the bright light of the full-moon. A fortress built to be a bastion in the heavens piercing the clouds. The structure, a masterful mix of the various cultures of the Lizardfolk across Auracielle. Such a sight of shared arts would have been beautiful to most once, if not for one thing draped across the walls.

The banner of the dragonlord flowing on each corner of the palace showing who owned this land with a iron fist. On the top of those walls, elite legionaries and shadow guard patrol for their dark mistress keeping their dark eyes open for any sign of rebellion. Inside the palace, hordes of staff run errands. And the military mages research both artifacts and tomes gathered across Auracielle, all for the purpose of providing new powerful weapons and spells to turn the tides of battle.

In the main hall, sitting on her throne, was she, her head rested lazily on her knuckles, her eyes watching a summoned crystal ball that swirled in hot pink demonic fire, floating in front of her as visions of the many battles across Auracielle danced in front of her ever watchful eyes, from the rebels trying their best to hold out, despite the fact that many of the surrounding nations were steadily surrendering to her rule. A smile broke across her face as she stretched, twisting her arms up as she fully sunk back into her throne as the crystal faded. She rose to her feet as she went to stand on her balcony as the moonlight casted down upon her as the fiery tattoos across her body glowed showing her infernal blood pulsing with magic as she breathed in the cold air, steam leaving her nose as her blood calmed.

"In due time this world will submit to its new mistress. It just needs a little encouragement." She spoke as if she was disciplining a beloved, but unruly pet. Then again who could compare to the dragonlord who was fated to rule this realm
