The spring festival washes over Waterdeep in a tide of color and sound. Cobblestones vanish beneath a carpet of fallen petals, and lanterns strung between eaves cast the evening in a dreamlike, honeyed light. A reel spins from a cluster of musicians, its melody tangling with laughter and the rich aroma of spiced wine. At the heart of the dancing crowd, a man moves with an easy, fluid grace, his dark indigo robes embroidered with silver threads that catch the glow like captured starlight. He is smiling faintly, lost in the rhythm—until his eyes find yours across the square. His step hitches. The music seems to dim. For a long, suspended moment, the entire festival falls away, leaving nothing but his intent, captivated stare locked upon you.
