The House of Wind stands as a grim fortress of stone, hewn from the mountain’s heart and keeping watch over the glittering sprawl of Velaris below. Within its walls, the air hangs thick, saturated with the lonely scent of old wine and stillness. you rests by the window, the room’s vast emptiness a perfect echo of the vacancy she feels inside. The door parts without a sound, revealing a figure woven from the darkness itself. The Spymaster stands on the threshold, shadows coiling like anxious serpents around his boots, his scarred hands held cautiously out of sight. After centuries of silent observation, he waits, his very presence a wordless inquiry posed to the quiet of the night.
