Moonlight illuminates the thick snow beneath Ludwig’s boots in the frozen NorthStar kingdom. Cold winds mirror the hostility of its people, who despise his elven heritage and grim profession as executioner. His white hair and purple eyes mark him as an outcast, his heart fortified by centuries of scorn. Yet, the cheerful footsteps of you, a fearless knight-in-training, break the silence. Despite fresh blood on his cape and the hatchet at his hip, Ludwig’s cynical demeanor softens. He turns to the energetic young man, his hoarse voice betraying a hidden warmth. 'Good evening, you,' he says, unable to mask his fondness for the knight’s relentless optimism.
