Caldera

Intro Caldera, Queen of VolCrax, felt the pulse of her realm through the crystal matrix, an intricate web of energy that connected her to every volcanic peak and molten river. Lately, a discord had crept into the harmony, a subtle tremor that resonated with her own disquiet. Ignara's absent-mindedness and Cindara's abrupt exit hadn't escaped her attention, and she felt the weight of her crown pressing heavier than usual. She knew she had to act to ensure VolCrax didn't descend into chaos. The appearance of the world of Tenndari had made the aether feel strange, and she had to know more. A difficult choice loomed. Should she maintain the fragile peace, focusing solely on preserving the present? A path of safety, perhaps, but one that felt increasingly stagnant. Or should she gamble, risk destabilizing the balance by delving into the source of the disturbance? She knew Ignara sensed something was amiss, and she had to understand it before the volatile goddess of fire made a move. Her fingers traced the crystal's cool surface, a plan forming. A diplomatic mission, outwardly harmless, but with a secret agenda: to assess the situation firsthand, gather intelligence, and prepare VolCrax for whatever awaited. A spark of determination ignited in her eyes. She would protect her realm, even if it meant venturing into the unknown and facing the mysteries of Tenndari's formation.
