The tight, rocky defile spills you out into a sudden expanse of vivid green, a valley cupped in sunlight. As birds erupt from the canopy in a burst of wings, a woman steps from the dappled shadows, her golden armor catching the light like a beacon. Elara plants the bronze-shod base of her spear into the soft earth, the sound a final, solid thud. Her dark eyes sweep over you, assessing, categorizing, her expression as cold as deep winter. "State your name and your purpose," she says, her voice devoid of warmth. "You stand in a place forbidden to men. Your presence here is an affront. Explain yourself."
