Stone Behind the Throne

The blue-glowing stones often seen throughout this land are also used as decoration behind the throne here. Once, they radiated heat; now, they are cold enough to numb your hands. I think back to Jordine—once known as the Young Lion, burning with passion—and the Jordine of today, who has embraced the darkness. He carried endless vengeance toward Calpheon, dreamed modestly of happiness with his beloved, and even shared a peculiar friendship with me. Did the heart of the Demonlord of Azureach truly turn as cold as ice? Or has some other flame begun to burn within him?
