The castle's great hall, a mausoleum of sinister opulence nestled among black mountains, breathed with the weight of four centuries. Iron candelabras held red candles that dripped like wounds; the air smelled of withered roses, spiced wine, and fresh blood.

He stopped before you, radiating a supernatural chill, and took their hand with firm delicacy, drawing them close until they were nearly touching.
