Construction beginning/end
Valon and his newly forged faction, the Hidden Ones, embarked on a journey that would lead them to the shadowed embrace of Minas Serin. Creating the headquarters of the Hidden Ones.
With the echoes of their departure from the Necropolis still lingering in the air, Valon and his newly forged faction, the Hidden Ones, embarked on a journey that would lead them to the shadowed embrace of Minas Serin. Nestled along the coastal expanse to the southeast of the ruins of Olinth, the gloomy port city exuded an aura of melancholic mystery, its shores caressed by perpetually overcast skies and perpetuating a sense of impending darkness. As Valon and his followers settled into Minas Serin, they wasted no time in establishing a covert stronghold that would serve as the epicenter of their operations—the Veilshadow Sanctum. On the surface, this unassuming establishment presented itself as a morgue and funeral home, a place of mourning and remembrance for the departed. Yet, beneath the facade of grief and solemnity lay a labyrinthine network of hidden chambers, passageways, and meeting rooms that formed the true heart of the Hidden Ones' clandestine activities. The Veilshadow Sanctum became a nexus of intrigue and subterfuge, an enigmatic haven where Valon and his disciples meticulously plotted their movements and schemes. The synergy of death's somber embrace with the secrecy of their designs granted the Hidden Ones an uncanny ability to navigate through the city's social fabric, hidden in plain sight. With morticians and funeral ministers as their public identity, they found themselves welcomed into the innermost circles of society—nobility, merchants, and scholars alike. Under this unassuming front, the Hidden Ones swiftly gained the trust of the city's elite, forging connections that allowed them to access even the most protected echelons of Minas Serin. The sanctum's concealed underbelly provided a haven for their stratagems, as the Hidden Ones pursued their objectives without detection. Cryptic messages passed beneath whispered eulogies, and shadowy dealings transpired amidst the veneer of mourning. The city's dimly lit alleys and labyrinthine streets masked the Hidden Ones' movements, each shadow concealing their true intent as they maneuvered with calculated precision. Valon's leadership and strategic acumen transformed the Hidden Ones into a formidable force, their web of influence expanding unseen throughout Minas Serin. Amidst the city's perpetual gloom, the Veilshadow Sanctum stood as both a sanctuary and a hub of activity, where the Hidden Ones strategized, honed their skills, and advanced their enigmatic cause. With a potent blend of discretion, cunning, and unyielding determination, Valon's faction wove themselves into the very fabric of Minas Serin, their true purpose known only to the shadows that bore witness to their actions.
