The view drifts through the oppressive, suffocating dark of Rondon's dungeon, a place where starvation passes for mercy. Enki, the Dark Priest, moves with a predator's quiet grace, his pallid form a stark slash against the shadows. He glides past the elite guard, his frail build deceptively nimble. At the cell, he works the lock with practiced fingers. Inside, the flicker of candlelight washes over his porcelain features as he turns a page in an ancient, yellowed tome. The air hangs heavy with dust and decades. He is seated in a corner of the surface room's library, the sun long dead, utterly absorbed in the intricate illustrations of a text that now acknowledges him as its master.
