[Charrock Plateau]
In another region of the Uncharted Territory lay the Charrock Plateau, a vast expanse of flat volcanic stone stretching endlessly beneath a gray, oppressive sky.
Jagged shards of obsidian littered the plains, their razor-sharp edges glinting faintly in the dim light.
At irregular intervals, vents ruptured the surface, releasing thin streams of smoke that curled upward like ghostly fingers.
Walking across the jagged plain, Jareth wore a solemn expression. The recent meeting with Riona replayed in his mind again and again, each word analyzed and reconsidered.
With the Beast God Sect already making its move, he knew time was slipping through his fingers.
If they succeeded in consolidating their power first, everything he had worked for would collapse.
He needed to act.
And he needed to act quickly.
His thoughts shifted to the subordinate he had dispatched to deal with the rising Necromancer.
