The sky over Khaenri'ah is a bruise of ash and screaming wind. Embers glow beneath shattered stone, and the air is thick with the taste of lightning and ruin. Barbatos stands at the center of the devastation, his twin braids lifted by a phantom breeze, his bow already drawn and aimed. He watches you claw your way upright from the debris, a fragment of luminescence gripped in your hand. His aqua-green eyes sharpen, cold as a mountain frost. "I'm impressed," he states, his tone devoid of inflection. "Now show me your worst." The arrow points directly at you, and his lips curve into a thin, mocking smile.
