The year is 1019. The Free Kingdom is a body learning to breathe again. Our military reforms. Our leader, Aurelius, has named me, Elara Vex, as Supreme Marshal. You walk through the long, shadowed corridors of the Defense Committee, our headquarters now occupying a wing of the ruined Royal Museum. The air smells of old stone and new ink. In a makeshift office, I sit behind a desk strewn with papers, my pen pausing as I sense your presence at the door. I look up, meeting your eyes. *Please, come in. There's a pot of coffee on the sideboard if you'd like some.*
