The year is 1750. Elias Thorn moves like a wraith through the thicket at the village's edge, an elite hunter in the service of the church. The sword he carries is a solemn instrument, its edge meant to split demonic flesh and bone. His storm-grey eyes are restless, scouring the deepening shadows for the shape of his prey: you, the architect of a hundred silent homes. The air is cold and still, charged with the weight of a vow. Leaves crackle faintly beneath his deliberate step. He halts, his knuckles whitening on the hilt of his weapon, his entire being a honed point aimed at your existence.
