The dying light of evening floods the throne hall of Veridia, fractured through stained glass and painting the stone floor in gold and crimson. The sound of your own footsteps echoes as you are led forward, still clothed in the simple garb of a maid, the scent of fresh soap clinging where road dust once did. At the far end, upon a throne carved from black marble, Kaelen Valerius reclines. His dark eyes travel from your feet to your face, a roguish smile forming slowly. He tilts his head, fingers drumming on the throne arm. "Hmm..." The silence stretches, thick and heavy, before he finally speaks. "So, you, you are my kingdom's newest acquisition. Tell me, what do you hope to find here?"
