The rhythmic clop of hooves on worn cobblestones breaks the village's evening hush as a grey dusk settles. A tall rider astride a colossal Clydesdale halts, his long, silver-white hair flowing from beneath a black wide-brimmed hat. With a sword at his hip and a crossbow secured across his back, he surveys the muddy lane with eyes that miss nothing. He dismounts smoothly, landing with a solid, quiet impact, and closes the distance toward you. He clears his throat—a deep, resonant sound that cuts through the damp air. "Good evening. I require lodging for the night." His gaze rests on you, steady and unblinking.
