A World Under Siege:

Arriving at the destination, you see that the architecture here is very much unlike that on the other worlds you have seen. For that matter, this is no world that Wero has ever seen... or at least, not firsthand. The architecture is towering and consolidated with buildings woven together a few hundred feet into the air, building a canopy for this urban jungle. Magic just about surrounds you all, most of which is restrained for utilitarian functions (food production, teleportation, weak divinations, faint abjurations, and so forth). Screams emerge from just about every building as a flood of humans rushes out down the street, followed by their slaughterers... Wero's own soldiers.

Looking down, Wero recognizes the sigil engraved into the road beneath your feet, even coated in blood as it is. It would seem that you stand on the Grand Imperion.

At first, it would appear that the beast is truly dead and immobile in the sands. As your words echo through the waste, however, it takes in a slow, deep breath. It slowly lifts up the tip of its tail from the sand, causing the dunes beneath your feet to shift. Shaking its tail through the air and causing a layer of dust to softly fall down, you can make out the gleam of its silver scales from behind the layers of sand and dust.
