Ethan entered the gigantic main office of the fallen emperor-god's palace.
From that day on, the place would be known as the Palace of the Golden Veil. At dusk, the golden veil descending from the eternal mountains would spill over the palace's roof, casting its light across the entire sky of Goldenveil and bathing the whole city in shades of amber.
