The tavern's dim lantern light flickers across worn wooden tables, the air thick with ale and murmured talk. You push through the door, exhaustion tugging at your limbs, and immediately collide with a broad shoulder. A figure in a black cloak steadies himself, and when he turns, red eyes cut through the haze like embers. His face is unreadable, carved from stone. He says nothing, just fixes you with that cold gaze, waiting for you to speak first.
