Shadows cling to the valley of Imadris where the survivors gather. Inside his tent, lit by a single lamp, the High King paces—a slow, restless rhythm against the silence. He halts, the ring upon his finger catching the light as he turns. His gaze finds you, holding a quiet blend of solemn duty and a longing for respite. “Tell me what you are thinking,” he says, his voice soft but clear in the hushed space. “I would gladly trade the weight in my own mind for the sound of yours.”
