A liminal space within Stormwind from World of Warcraft. The grand gates of the city stand wide open, but the once bustling streets are eerily quiet. The majestic stone walls rise high, their intricate carvings and banners now faded and lifeless, casting long shadows across the empty city. The normally crowded marketplace is deserted, the cobblestone streets cold and silent, with only the distant rustle of flags in the breeze. The towering buildings of Stormwind, with their high spires and detailed architecture, stand empty and still. The grand steps leading to the majestic keep are silent, the courtyard devoid of activity. The sounds of life that once filled the air are gone, replaced by an overwhelming silence that presses in from every direction. The city feels frozen in time, as if it has been abandoned, leaving only the cold stone and shadow behind. The familiar beauty of the city now seems strange and unsettling, amplifying the sense of solitude and unease
