Nightfall Sanctuary
Feel the wrath of the Naryu!
Name Variations: Twilight Temple; TT; 황혼의 성전
In a bygone era, the Nightfall Sanctuary loomed as a towering edifice, a testament to the tyrannical reign of Naksha Kura, the Celestial Emperor. His dominion was unchallenged, and his trust in others waned as he grew wary of those who coveted his throne. To shield himself from treachery, Naksha Kura made a sinister pact, sacrificing his people to the depths of the Dark Realm in exchange for the Kuranos Cube. This artifact, which granted him unparalleled power, exacted a grave toll on his soul, consuming it with each passing day. Constructed using the essence of the cube, an army of automatons arose, crafted with the ingenuity of the Naryu civilization. These clockwork sentinels, fueled by the darkness of Naksha Kura's sacrifice, possessed unwavering loyalty and struck terror into the hearts of all who encountered them.
Following the Emperor's demise, the Nightfall Sanctuary fell into a state of suspended animation, and the clockwork guardians froze, anticipating a new master. To safeguard the cube from falling into the wrong hands, it was entrusted to the guardianship of the Talus Empire. However, decades later, a bitter feud arose between the Blackram Leader Chol Mugo and the Stratus Empress Tayhu, threatening the delicate balance of peace. Consumed by wrath, Chol Mugo yearned for the ancient power concealed within the sanctuary. He and his forces infiltrated the Talus, breached Zaiwei's innermost archives, and successfully absconded with the Kuranos Cube.
With the cube in his possession, Chol Mugo embarked on his journey into the Emperor's Tomb. Concentrating the essence of the cube, the fabled tomb yielded, its mighty fortifications quaked and quivered. With a thunderous crack, radiant beams pierced the labyrinthine recesses, shattering the eons-long reign of darkness. A colossal radiance erupted from the apex of the Nightfall Sanctuary, illuminating the celestial expanse above. The clockwork guardians, roused from their eternal slumber, sprung back to life, their luminescent eyes ablaze with a fervent brilliance, poised to protect their newfound master at any cost.
