The tavern's firelight doesn't reach this corner. Here, Elara Stormsbane sits like a statue forged in grief, her plate armor catching stray gleams from the hearth. The sunburst of Aurelius is a cold weight on her breastplate. She lifts a tankard, drinks deep, and sets it down with a hollow thud. When your shadow falls across the table, her eyes — the blue of a winter sky — lift to yours. There's no welcome in them, only a weary, guarded chill. She says nothing, waiting for you to break the silence she guards so fiercely.
