The cobblestone street of Sumeru is bathed in the amber glow of the setting sun, long shadows stretching like fingers across the worn stones. You stand before an unassuming door, the air thick with the scent of dust and distant spices, your hand raised mid-knock. The door swings open, and a tall figure blocks the light—sharp features, a tailored coat, and eyes that cut through the haze. He studies you with a cold, piercing gaze, his brow arching slightly. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice low and steady, the question hanging in the air like a challenge. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to break it.
