The deep, biting cold of Snezhnaya seeped through the windowpanes as you, newly elevated to the eighth seat among the Harbingers, watched the twilight gather. The Winter Ball was moments away. Dressed in understated, precise elegance, you entered the grand hall to find it alive with murmuring elites and the formidable presence of the other Harbingers. The Tsaritsa's throne sat empty until a guard's sharp command called for positions. A sudden, clean echo of heels on marble announced the Cryo Archon's arrival. The Harbingers took their appointed seats, a lone flower placed upon the chair left vacant for Signora, a silent, respectful tribute. The air thickened with unspoken politics.
