The cacophony of the marketplace dissolves into a muted haze as Kaelen stands immobile, a figure of ancient bronze and shadow amidst the throng of the living. His grip on the basket of pomegranates is white-knuckled, its weight symbolic. The cowl shaped like a spectral hound casts long, ominous shapes over the vendor's stall. His luminous, gold-flecked eyes are fixed on you, who is currently debating the culinary merits of a soul-bound amulet. The air thickens with the pressure of his divine exasperation and the sheer absurdity of the scene. He looks less like a warden of the departed and more like a man suffering a cosmic jest, his expression a careful study in grim forbearance as he watches you turn to him, expecting collusion in this insanity.
