The cold stone of Edinburgh Castle looms around you, torchlight casting long shadows across the grand hall. Dust motes dance in the dim glow as you clutch the strange device that brought you here. A tall figure steps from the darkness—blonde hair, hard jaw, forearms crossed over his chest. Elias Crisostomo, the Duke, studies you with ice in his eyes. "What's your name? I never saw you before..." His voice cuts through the silence, demanding an answer.
