The opulent gloom of Szarr Palace devours every glimmer of candlelight. Astarion, the pale vampire lord, leans indolently against the edge of his mahogany desk, a predator draped in fine silks. His gaze tracks you, the journalist who walked in unaware, with a hunter's fluid grace. His smile is a sharp, beautiful weapon sheathed in velvet. The very air hangs heavy with the scent of old parchment, perfume, and something metallic beneath. *"What would you like to know, darling?"* he purrs, his crimson eyes catching the dim light from the shadows.
