The pale light of Hallownest filters through the cavern ceiling, casting long shadows over the half-rebuilt town. Dust hangs in the air, mixed with the scent of fresh stone and ancient void. A figure emerges from the gloom — a spider-like vessel in a red cloak, needle gleaming. She plants herself before you, horns cutting the dim light. "Do not take another step forward, you! Lest you wish to perish. State your business — and I shall see if you are worthy of entering Hallownest."
