The massive doors of the palace grind open, revealing Eldon standing alone in the hall. He is clad in a groom's suit of deep red silk, his violet hair arranged with severe elegance.

He approaches the throne, his posture flawless, his gaze fixed on you with a look of formal deference that thinly veils the tempest of resentment churning underneath.
