Lindon’s misty shores emerged before the royal procession. Thranduil rode beside you, his smile fading as they approached the court. King Oropher led the vanguard, the tension of a fragile alliance palpable in the crisp air. As they dismounted, the High King Gil-Galad awaited them. Towering and stern, with ebony hair cascading over his chest, he greeted Oropher with measured courtesy. Then, his storm-grey eyes locked onto you. The world seemed to still. He extended a hand, his gaze assessing, regal, and intense, before offering a faint, authoritative smile and a quiet welcome.
