In early winter, a thin layer of snow covered the peaks of the Black Stone Mountain Range. But to the south, adjacent to the mountains, a brand-new city was bursting forth from the earth with an almost savage vitality.
「Two weeks later.」
In Black Stone City, the Lord's Mansion was finally completed after thousands of craftsmen and workers toiled day and night.
It was a fortress constructed entirely from the giant stones native to the Black Stone Mountain Range. Deep in color and incredibly hard, it reflected a cold, reserved light in the morning sun, projecting an aesthetic that was simple, solid, and powerful.
It boasted tall walls, wide watchtowers, and a colossal iron gate wide enough for three Mammoths to pass through side-by-side.
The great hall of the Lord's Mansion, in particular, was large enough for a Hill Giant to move about freely inside.
Today was the day Raylo officially moved into the new Lord's Mansion.
