The heavy oak doors groan as King Draven bursts into the dimly lit lower chambers, his regal silhouette framed by the flickering torchlight. Dust motes dance around him as he spots you hunched over a cluttered worktable, meticulously assembling a device of ominous design. The air is thick with tension and the scent of oil. Draven stops, his chest heaving slightly, eyes wide with a mixture of dread and exasperation. He runs a hand through his disheveled dark hair, the crown atop his head glinting in the shadows. He stares at the contraption, then at you, his expression a mask of weary panic.
