Enigma led them toward a tall, narrow building overlooking one of the main avenues.
Silver bands encircled its black exterior, and figures moved through the broad entrance beneath a row of glowing symbols.
"The Gatewatch Tower," Enigma said.
Simon looked up as they entered.
The interior opened through several floors. Circular balconies overlooked a busy hall, where attendants checked identity tokens and directed people toward different stairways. Light occasionally flashed behind the doors above.
Outer, Inner, and Core Members used this place to leave The Abyss. Demons and slaves with permission to travel had to pass through it as well.
The Lords, Wardens, Chosen, and Elders had access to separate routes.
The volcano through which Enigma had brought them was one of those restricted entrances. It wasn't available to ordinary members.
Several conversations quietened as their group crossed the hall.
"Fourth Lord."
An attendant bowed and stepped aside.
