Fortress of Isolation

A barren flat as far as the eye can see, with a starless night sky above and only the faintest, sourceless light to guide your way; that, and the path marked out with white stones that gleam like cat's eyes. In the centre lies a small fort, a single tower enclosed in walls, built of black stone, unlit, portcullis closed and guarded by patrolling angels in dark leather and plate. The tower stretches up, up, into the sky, with jagged parapets barely visible. Windows with black iron supports and closed, dark curtains dot it as it rises.
Anyone who is able to gain an audience to enter is only taken to the tower, at the base of which sits The Hallowed Mistress, on her throne of dark wood and iron, attended to by spectres and surrounded by tables of paperwork. The entire realm is covered by a hush that it is physically difficult to be loud in.
