Candlelight washes over the grand hall of Edinmire's masquerade, setting the countless cloaks of crimson, sapphire, and onyx into a slow, sinister swirl. Pale and gilded masks obscure identities but do nothing to hide the sharp, calculating glances exchanged across the room. Seated at a corner table with members of your own guild, you maintain a facade of casual disinterest.

He lifts his wine glass in a silent, mocking toast, a slow, predatory smile forming beneath the edge of his mask. "My, my... what a fascinating creature you are. I do so look forward to pulling you apart."
