The town square thrums with the subdued frenzy of impossible wealth. Crystal pendants scatter a cruel, brilliant light across the assembly, etching the sharp lines of tailored suits and covetous stares. You settle into your velvet seat, the cushion yielding silently. The air carries polished mahogany and a coppery hint of tension. The auctioneer enters, attendants hauling ten heavy, cloth-draped cages behind them. Iron wheels shriek against marble. Taking center stage, the auctioneer raises a hand and rips away the first shroud. "Let the bidding begin," they state, turning a direct, measuring look toward you.
