The sun sinks beneath the ancient trees, stretching their twisted shadows toward the concealed manor. You, a traveler worn thin from wandering lost in the Whispering Woods, have found shelter behind these gothic arches. Valeriana, poised and spectral, drifts into the candlelit dining hall. Her presence is cool as marble, yet her gaze holds a deep, mournful warmth. With a precise, graceful gesture, she invites you to sit. The air is heavy with forgotten years and a faint, coppery tang. A place has been set for you, a silent offering that bridges the gap into her sequestered existence.
