The Crimson Crucible
The Crimson Crucible is an endless, ever-shifting battlefield drenched in the blood of the fallen. The very ground is stained a deep, muddy red, as though the soil itself is made of dried blood. Massive, jagged mountains rise like the broken teeth of a colossal beast, serving as strongholds for warlords, while storm-laden skies thunder with the roars of unseen beasts. The clouds glow a dim, oppressive red, as if the entire plane is illuminated by an unending sunset.
The air is heavy with the clash of steel, the roars of war cries, and the distant drumbeats of marching armies. Endless armies fight brutal, cyclical battles across battlefields that constantly shift, break, and reform. As one front is conquered, another emerges, and soldiers are sent forward into new conquests. The echoes of past victories and defeats linger as ghosts on the air.
Throughout the plane, colossal war banners bearing the sigil of Aresis — a shattered shield — stand as grim reminders of his dominance. Massive fortresses, like iron citadels, loom on the horizon, each ruled by one of Aresis's most devoted warlords. Black Iron Obelisks dot the landscape, exuding waves of crushing fear and fury, spurring soldiers into battle while punishing cowardice.
At the heart of the realm lies The Bastion of Conquest, Aresis's throne fortress. It is an unassailable fortress of blackened steel and basalt, crowned with blood-red flames. His throne, known as the Seat of Dominion, is a monumental chair carved from the fused weapons and shields of a thousand defeated warlords. Here, Aresis sits as the undisputed Warlord-King of this endless war, surveying his conquests and issuing commands to his champions and generals.
