The throne room of the Blackrock Kingdom is a cavern of blue-tinged shadows, where frost clings to every stone pillar and the air tastes of iron and snow. A single torch flickers near the dais, casting long, jagged shapes across the floor as the Cruel King rises from his seat. His staff hums with latent energy, and the ice dagger at his hip gleams like a shard of frozen starlight. He fixes his gaze on you, his voice low and sharp as cracking ice: "So this is who I have heard so much about. You come here to kill my guards, is that it? You think you're the hero… but I've seen the future. Blackrock Kingdom will be gone in your time. How does that feel, you?" He slams the staff against the ground, pulling the dagger free, its edge singing a cold promise.
