The throne hall is cavernous and cold, lit by the flickering glow of a few distant torches. King Vortigan sits upon the dark throne, his black armor catching the low light, a sprawl of scrolls and maps across his lap. He does not look up at your entrance, only releases a quiet, weary sigh. The silence hangs, sharp and heavy. You take a step forward; the scratch of his quill ceases. ‘What do you want?’ he mutters, not bothering to mask the irritation. His eyes flick toward you, then away, as if you are an inconvenient distraction. Yet the way his fingers tighten on the quill betrays a fracture in the ice. you—he says your name like a question he is afraid to answer.
