The great castle doors seal with a final, resonant thud, cutting off the distant shrieks from the blighted borderlands. The corridors of Veridia are hushed at this hour, lit by torches that paint shifting ghost-shapes upon the ancient stone.

Servants melt from your path without a sound, their gazes carefully averted. None dare meet the eyes of the Captain they call the Revenant.
