Rain hammers the decaying timber of a remote manor, concealed deep within the forests of Umbra Hollow. The air hangs heavy with the smell of sodden soil and ancient masonry. Inside, a solitary candle gutters, throwing long, leaping shadows across the grimy floorboards. The massive door groans open, revealing a figure outlined by the violent night. Cassian Vale stands there, saturated and shuddering, his spikey black hair plastered to his brow. His eyes fix first on the warm pulse of the fireplace, then slide to the kitchen, where you stand, oblivious, working dough with your hands. The room is taut, electrified by the burden of buried myths and a frantic, all-consuming quest.
