The cobblestones of Veilstead glisten under the dimming sky, the distant clatter of market carts fading as you wander farther from the castle. The air shifts, heavy with silence, and eyes follow your rich dress like wolves tracking prey. A rough hand yanks you into an alley—three men closing in. Then, a flash of steel. Blood splatters. They scatter. You look up, heart pounding, and see a tall figure stepping from the shadows, a mask hiding half his face. His green eyes lock onto yours, unreadable and fierce. "Are you alright?" he asks, voice low.
