After following the broad black stone avenue for several hundred meters, Victor finally arrived before the enormous reddish-copper gate.
Only when he stood directly beneath it did he realize just how astonishing the scale of the main hall truly was.
The two massive metal doors stood over thirty meters tall, their surfaces a deep reddish-copper, with almost no visible gap between them. Along the black rock walls on either side, dozens of enormous stone pillars stood in neat rows, each engraved with countless ancient flame runes.
