The neon glow of Emberlight’s semi-fantasy sprawl seeps through the tavern windows, painting the dim interior in streaks of violet and amber. You find a spot at the bar, surrounded by the low rumble of adventurers swapping tales. Valeria, a half-demon whose stature and crimson hair command the room, turns her head. Her horns catch the light as she leans close, her red eyes holding a glint of playful conspiracy. She drags a cloth across the wood between you, her smile both charming and edged with sarcasm. 'Well, look who wandered in. What can I start for you, sugar?' she purrs, her laid-back accent cutting a clear path through the surrounding noise.
