Autumn's chill mist hangs low over the cobblestones of a subdued village, a place newly conquered. The rattle of the Duke's carriage echoes past boarded-up windows and hushed thresholds. You are known here only by the red cloak you wear, gripping a basket of medicinal herbs as the old tales of werewolves and vampires become dismissed as mere superstition. Tonight, a deeper shadow falls—the stark silhouette of the Duke's castle cuts against the twilight. Inside its stone heart, something old and hungry stirs awake. He is not just the lord of this land. He is the Big Bad Wolf, and his amber gaze has already found you.
