A few hours in, they reached the crest of a hill.
And there it was—Shurima. The kingdom revealed itself like a forgotten dream. Towering stone statues rose from the heart of the jungle, draped in moss and tangled vines. Trees had grown atop their shoulders, with rope bridges connecting wooden temples like threads of fate. Waterfalls cascaded from the cliffs into glowing rivers that pulsed with life. Hidden paths wound through the forest below, where silent warriors moved like shadows. Stone faces carved into the mountains watched over it all, timeless and unblinking.
This was Shurima—the sanctuary of Titans.
The only sanctuary in the entire Shoxa region. While other monarchs ruled lands rich in multiple biocore sanctuaries, Shoxa had only one. And yet, that one was enough. Its ruler was the Skull Crusher Monarch—a living symbol of raw strength and merciless will.
