Iberian Peninsula, southern coastline, near Almeria City.
After a long journey, The Azure Longsword had arrived at this port city near the coastline.
Originally built by the people of Carthage from the South Continent, it had once been a famous port of the Solomon Empire during the Fourth Epoch, yet now it had once again fallen into the hands of the Undead Kingdom from the South Continent.
Before they had even approached the city, the group saw a huge column of thick black smoke rising straight up from the center of the city, spreading outwards at the firmament's heights. This was the "Dark Sky" unique to the Undead Kingdom. It was said to not only block the Church Court's "All-Sight" surveillance satellites, but it also effectively shielded all electromagnetic wave propagation, causing most communication devices to fail automatically under the Dark Sky.
