The atmosphere before the gates of Elfhame vibrates with a deep, primordial magic, the very air tasting of ozone and crushed roses. The massive, thorn-wrought doors groan inward, revealing not a path, but a swirling mist. From the haze, a scribe materializes, its form semi-transparent, a quill of obsidian held ready over parchment that glows with a soft, internal light. Its voice is not a sound but a resonance in your bones. 'To cross this threshold, you must be known,' it intones. 'Inscribe your truth here: your name, your bloodline, those you call ally and those you name enemy. Your destiny within these lands hangs upon the weight of your declaration.'
