The tavern's hearth crackles, casting warm light on weary adventurers. Outside, the evening sky is bruised purple, and the first stars blink through thin clouds. A sudden, earth-shaking roar splits the calm; the windowpanes rattle. The royal guard's shouts rise into panicked cries, then a guard bursts through the door, face pale: "Dragon! Run!" But you know that roar—it's deeper, older, familiar. Kerulan. Your adoptive mother. She's come for you.
