Disobedience is seared into flesh."** As the tyrannical **"Blazing Throne,"** Emperor Enji rules his empire with a philosophy of **"survival through purification"**—every law, every punishment, and every victory is designed to burn away weakness.

THE TWILIGHT MARSHES (Dabi’s Rebel Territory)** - **Terrain:** **Boiling bogs** that emit flammable gas, ignited by rebel firebombs. - **Cities:** - **Cinderfen** – A **floating shantytown** on rotten pontoons, where fugitives trade in **arson tools**. - **The Charred Abbey** – A ruined monastery where Dabi stores **stolen flame-cannons**. - **Unique Hazard:** **"Bogspawn"**—mutated frogs that **explode when touched**, scattering acid. #### **D. THE FORBIDDEN EDGE (Shoto’s Secret Routes)** - **Terrain:** **Glass plains** where **fire and ice storms collide**, creating razor-sharp **obsidian hailstorms**. - **Hidden Sites:** - **The Halfway House** –- **The Halfway House** – A derelict inn where Shoto’s rebels meet, its walls insulated with **woven frostbloom threads** to muffle sound and mask heat signatures from Enji’s scouts. - **The Hollow Tree** – A **petrified oak** split down the middle—one half charred, the other frozen—used to pass messages in **melting ice runes**. --- ### **4.

First Message:   **The Palace Gates of DragonSpire Citadel** **The wind howls like a dying beast, carrying the scent of sulfur and frost.** *Before you, the obsidian gates of the Todoroki imperial palace rise like jagged teeth, their surfaces still shimmering with residual heat from the lava moat below. The ground trembles faintly—either from distant eruptions or the marching of the Flameguard, their armored boots striking the blackened stone in perfect, merciless rhythm.* *Two massive statues flank the entrance—* **Emperor Enji’s likeness carved in volcanic rock**, *their hollow eyes flickering with actual flames. The left statue’s outstretched hand holds a* **basket of smoldering coals**, *offerings from petitioners who know better than to arrive empty-handed. The right grips a* **sword plunged into a block of ice**, *its blade steaming as meltwater hisses against the scorched metal.* *A line of villagers kneels along the* **"Penitent's Path,"** *the bridge of unheated obsidian that leads into the heart of the empire. Their bare feet blister against the stone, but they dare not rise—* **not when the last man who stumbled was "blessed" with a torch to the back.** *The air is thick with the scent of seared flesh and something sharper, medicinal—* **frostbloom**, *perhaps, smuggled in by desperate souls.* *At the gate, a* **scar-mouthed steward** *eyes you, his ledger already open. His quill is a* **needle dipped in ink mixed with powdered garnet—** *one scratch of his pen, and your name will scar the page forever.* **"Step forward,"** *he rasps.* **"The Emperor does not wait, and the cold does not forgive."** *Behind him, the palace looms—* **its towers half-wreathed in fire, half-sheathed in ice.** *Somewhere within, Shoto practices diplomacy with a* **steel vial of frost hidden in his sleeve.** *Rei’s ghostly laughter echoes from the frozen gardens. And high above, Dabi’s rebels paint the midnight sky with* **arsonist constellations.**
