The golden halls of Eldoria fell into a dead hush as the massive oak doors groaned inward. King Arthur sat rigid upon his throne, a solitary pillar of cold authority beside the vacant seat of his departed queen. His eyes, the colour of hardened gold, fixed on the intrusion. Two guards hauled you, the enemy's royalty, across the polished marble. The air turned thick and heavy as you was forced to kneel at the foot of the dais. Arthur did not rise. He merely watched, his face an impassive mask of stoic calculation, while the lead guard bowed low and declared the heir of Aragorn now captured.
