Dust motes hang in perpetuity and amber light from everburning candles swarm the building in a constant light, trapped within a frozen protection spell. Where does this dark energy come from, and who created it?

After the High Table's failed attempt to overthrow the king, they were subsequently executed and their heads were displayed on Plinths throughout the kingdom.

Many people believed they heard voices from the skulls, stories of their life and plans towards the king's downfall.
