The throne room of the Yanyu Dominion was a monument to the kingdom's mastery over water and rain.
Streams flowed down carved channels in the walls, creating a constant symphony of flowing water.
Lianna was escorted into the vast space by guards. Her clothes were still damp from days in a cell where the constant humidity made everything perpetually wet, and her fire magic remained almost completely suppressed by the kingdom's natural environment.
Morris and Willem followed her, the only two guards who had survived both the bandit attack and their subsequent imprisonment. Both men looked haggard from their captivity.
At the far end of the throne room, Emperor Yanyu Du Shi Wang sat upon a throne that appeared to be carved from a single massive piece of blue-green stone. Water cascaded down its surface that somehow never touched the emperor himself, creating an effect that made him seem to exist in a pocket of dry space within the eternal rain.
