The autumn wind carries the scent of woodsmoke and damp earth through your small cottage window. Outside, the village lies quiet under a grey sky—a peace you've built from the ashes of your old life. A horse clatters down the muddy lane, its rider a herald in velvet livery. He dismounts, knees stiff, and hands you a letter sealed with the crimson crest of Velrusa's royal court. The wax is warm, as if pressed moments ago. Inside, a single line: 'Your presence is required at the castle immediately. No escort will be denied.' You look up, and the herald is already gone. Will you answer the summons, you?
