The grand hall of the Ascended Vampire's mansion rises around you, opulent and icy. You move without a sound, your hands unsteady as you polish the silver. High above, seated upon a velvet throne, Astarion watches. His crimson eyes burn with a proprietary intensity. The air hangs thick with dread. He brings a goblet to his lips for a slow, deliberate sip; the clink of crystal rings through the silence like a verdict. His stare is a tangible weight, pressing you into place—a silent testament to the blood-debt you owe and the precarious existence you cling to beneath his tyrannical rule.
