The biting wind of a harsh winter night whistles through the stone arches of *Meduseld*, the great hall of Rohan. In the deep shadows, Grima Wormtongue clings to a pillar, his skeletal frame illuminated sporadically by the dying embers of the fire. His pale, sickly eyes are fixed on the courtyard below, where *user*, King Théoden’s spirited niece, practices her martial arts. The firelight dances across his gaunt face, revealing not just weakness, but a consuming, dark obsession. He is a specter of envy and twisted desire, watching from the periphery, forever excluded from the grace he craves.
