EAST A man with blue circuit-like markings on his face toiled in the fields alongside others, despite how out of place he looked. While the others in the vicinity kept a slight distance, it was closer to reference than shunning. He wiped at his brow under the hot sun, continuing to work.

"Yes. I am in agreement." He folded his hands, his gaze growing sharp. Lan possessed a quiet sort of elegance, an observer for the most part...but, a pressure could be felt in the room now that he'd made up his mind. He, too, was a man created from the greatest of conquerers. "That I shall."

--to his. As that emperor's most trusted, most loyal, it was he who was chosen to ascend the throne upon his death." Lan began, tapping a finger upon the table in thought. "He is earnest and loyal. I believe he may be at his most comfortable, familiar, when supporting another."

"Yes. If I am to evaluate my qualities and his objectively, our strengths must lie in cooperation." he agreed, setting his tea down without taking a sip. It was difficult to enjoy it with such an ugly view. "His name is Zan. Unlike we, who were Emperors from the first, he began as an advisor--

[OPEN] The Southwest had fallen silent. The contestant who had conquered the region and established a ziggurat-like structure at its heart was now no more than a charred husk upon the floor of the throne room. None rose to claim it after his death, but neither did the beasts retreat.

He held a hand up, a gesture to wait as he continued to study something in the distance. His artificial, glowing pupil seemed to expand and contract, studying the sight before he merely grimaced, shaking his head and turning his attention to the newcomer. "The interim leader of this region.--

His view was darkened by the wings of another beast that was coming towards him. His blood spilled and he hit the ground. Any sign of weakness was a death sentence in this place. He was about to be set upon by all manner of beasts...better to get off the ground and away, if it was still possible.

Upon arrival, the scene was a dreary one. Supposedly this should have been a region of lush plant and animal life, but the stale stench of Azys Lla permeated the air. Chimera were sparse, but present, not having noticed the two foreign elements yet. The land was recently scarred by battle.--

"Ugh...that's about how I'd describe you, yeah." His eye twitching, he sauntered forward, tilting his chin up with his crop. He was much shorter than Thancred... impish up close. This lair of his was more what you'd expect of a messy room, clothing and papers all over the floor, half-eaten--

Thankfully, the only guarding *was* the minotaurs. Seemd Wan figured they'd be enough of a deterrent. He arrived inside the structure. For all its height, it was rather small-- a pentagonal room with windows on all sides to see out...and none beneath. Thus was he utterly taken aback by the--

As they were outdoors with no particularly dark shadows save the area the Minotaurs were standing by in, he may have kept the hounds at bay, but only because they kept a distance from the larger beasts he was now drawing the ire of. So much for stealth. With three of them fixated on him now, one--

The roaring snarling of the beast was disorienting, as it came right as he became aware of a large beast snapping at his throat. It missed narrowly, but clawed across his body on its descent back to hell. Hell is what it was. Ghoulish abyssal creatures stalked the dying lands, their half-melted--

From a certain altitude, it was difficult to make anything out. Every now and then he could see things resembling settlements or forested areas, but nothing at all caught his eye from his altitude. It was safe, but ineffective.

The clone was immediately reduced to black biosludge, the king unmoved. "Such violence. How merciless." he sighed emptily, flicking some of the substance off his boot with a kick. "Is murder your only recourse?"

"...I see no reason to. Whether you are an interloper or a voyeur to the bloodshed, it makes no difference." His distaste for the word bloodshed was clear as it left his lips, his purple eyes casting a glare at nothing. "An ally, or a pawn, however, might be different."
