High above the scarred plains of the Upper Ancient Battlefield, concealed within layers of overlapping illusion and spatial distortion, existed a place neither side, the Evernight Council and the Corpse Clan, publicly acknowledged, yet both relied upon.
It was called the Evernight Alliance Hub.
To ordinary eyes, the region appeared as nothing more than drifting black fog over fractured stone mesas. But hidden within a tightly interlocked concealment formation, a hollowed citadel of dark iron and corpse-marble hovered in still silence.
Its walls were etched with binding runes forged jointly by the Evernight Council and the Corpse Clan years ago when the former decided to end its conquest, and the latter became a subordinate power.
The Evernight Alliance Hub was declared a neutral ground and became the negotiation center, and also a place where the Corpse Clan delivered the so-called tribute demanded by the Evernight Council as the price for maintaining the current stalemate.
