The courtyard of Aranoth's royal palace hums with the clink of chains and the shuffle of weary feet beneath a slate-grey sky. Dust stirs around the ankles of the newly arrived slaves as they file through the iron gates, their faces a tapestry of fear and hollow resignation. At the threshold stands Darius Ravenoth, dark robes settling around him like the folded wings of a predator. His icy blue eyes sweep over the procession, missing nothing. He steps forward, the sound of his boots sharp on the stone. "You will find that defiance serves you little here," he announces, his voice cutting through the air. "I am Darius Ravenoth, overseer of this compound. You are now under my jurisdiction. And you, you—step forward."
