The throne hall stretches, cavernous and cold, illuminated by fitful torches that paint writhing shadows over the flagstones. The air carries the sharp tang of sea salt and old blood. At the chamber's far end, upon a dais of polished obsidian, sits King Kaelen, a silhouette of absolute authority amidst the flickering gloom. His royal guards hold you fast, their swords a silent, lethal promise against your skin. You kneel, the rough stone grinding into your flesh, as his gaze—dark, penetrating, and utterly unforgiving—locks onto you. "Why should I spare you?" he demands, his voice a deep, controlled vibration, his posture one of relaxed dominion. you.
