Empreyan Mountains

***The Empreyan Mountains*** are located in the Halo (basically one of the circles of Heaven) of Humility, the highest plane of all existence and is home to the The Morningstar Mansion.

## Appearance

A lush, tropical paradise, dominated by a verdant tapestry of emerald and olive green foliage. Towering palm trees with auburn trunks punctuate the skyline, their fronds swaying gently against the backdrop of a soft, mango-tinted sky as dusk approaches. The undergrowth is a mosaic of ferns and shrubs in varying shades of lime and chartreuse, with the occasional brilliance of wildflowers peeking through in dashes of amethyst and goldenrod. The air itself seems to be drenched in a palette of warm colors, blending seamlessly from the golden hour's amber glow to the encroaching twilight's dusky mauve. The distant mountains loom as silhouettes, deep indigo against the sky, their contours softened by the mist that rises from the dense tropical heat.

There are known to be some colder and more frostier regions if you head up north, it will feel like an eternal blizzard and ten times worse conditions than the Himalayas.

## Locations

### Hanan Pachakutiq Apu

A large, solitary mountain under a night sky. The mountain appears to be a stratovolcano, characterized by its steep profile and summit crater, which glows with a soft light, suggesting some volcanic activity. This glow is a muted white, reminiscent of antique white. The mountain itself is enveloped in shades of dark charcoal and onyx, blending seamlessly into the night. The sky is a tapestry of ebony, dotted with small flecks of off-white stars that vary slightly in size and brightness. The moon is full and luminous, painted in a stark achromatic tone, standing out against the surrounding darkness.In the foreground, there is a silhouette of foliage that could belong to a forest of tall grasses and shrubs, typical of a subalpine environment. These plants are depicted in a monochromatic color scheme, ranging from gunmetal to jet black, which doesn't allow for the discernment of specific patterns in the vegetation.

The interior of the cave is a monochromatic palette, primarily shades of grey. The cave walls are adorned with simplistic, child-like drawings. The figures are etched in white, depicting a range of subjects from humanoid shapes to various animals like elephants and what appears to be a crocodile. There are also several eyes with accentuated lashes, a common symbol in primitive art. The images have a spontaneous and random placement across the cave's surface, suggesting an unstructured form of expression. The cave itself could be categorized as a limestone cave, given the commonality of such caves having smooth walls that serve as canvases for ancient art. The overall atmosphere is dark and shadowy, with some lighter grey areas where either natural or artificial light touches the surface, highlighting the white drawings.

Darcy uses this cave as her primary base of operations for creating magical spells, crafting palismans, conducting rituals, and making deals. She is known to trap those who fail to keep their end of the bargain within the cave walls as cave drawings, at her whim. In the cave, she has a small cup containing the Blood of Supay, a black slime that, upon opening, releases small ghosts. Darcy uses this slime as a medium for painting her cave paintings and trapping people within them. She can even draw on her victim's faces, causing them to regurgitate small dinosaur spirits made of slime, ichor, and tar.

### The Astrological Observatory of the Megaverse

Another one of Darcy's base of operations, located near a cliff into the eternal Ocean of the Styx, it houses the Oracle Fire which can see into any dimension and must be activated using flammable material.

The building depicted appears to be a fantastical, monolithic structure, characterized by its towering height and distinct mushroom-like cap. The cap of the building has a semi-circular shape with an undulating outline, resembling the cap of a mushroom. It features a central eye motif, which might be symbolic or serve as a window, and is adorned with spots or markings around its perimeter.Directly beneath the cap is a star-shaped ornament or design, possibly a window or emblem, centered on the structure's face. The main body of the building is a vertical, cylindrical column with a rugged surface, suggesting it could be made of stone or a similarly textured material. This shaft is segmented into several tiers or levels, each delineated by horizontal lines that could represent floors within the interior.Around the base of the structure are smaller formations resembling stalagmites, which could be made of the same stone-like material as the main building. These might serve as support structures, decorative elements, or smaller chambers related to the primary edifice. The ground surrounding the building is littered with similar smaller structures and debris, contributing to the ancient or otherworldly atmosphere of the scene.

The interior structure depicted is a grand mausoleum, with classical architectural features typical of Greco-Roman design. It is a square-based edifice, adorned with an array of ornamental elements such as pilasters, cornices, and a frieze displaying intricate bas-reliefs. The roof is a pyramidal spire topped with a sculptural group that includes an angelic figure with wings spread. The mausoleum's façade is punctuated by columns with Corinthian capitals supporting a broken pediment, beneath which is a roundel framed by moldings. There are multiple candle-like embellishments that appear to be stylized representations of fire, possibly indicating torches or braziers. The construction materials suggest stone or marble due to the texture and sheen. The entrance is an arched doorway, recessed within the thickness of the walls and flanked by sconces or holders that would typically house lamps or torches. The foreground includes a skull and bones, indicating the mausoleum's association with death and the afterlife. A palette that includes shades of grey, purple, pink, and orange, hinting at a setting or rising sun in the background that casts a warm glow over the scene. The sky is a dusky blue, transitioning to darker hues at the upper edge, suggesting either dawn or twilight.
