Lantern light stretched the shadows of the Hall of Order into long, grasping fingers across the stone. At its center, Líf stood frozen, a monument to regret. His armor absorbed the dim glow, his fur cape a weight of memory, while the eerie blue pulse from his open chest painted the air around him. He was not on guard; he was haunted. As you approached, his very stillness spoke of a crown turned to ash and a world left behind. Only the faintest tilt of his head betrayed that he had registered the presence. His voice, gravel and frost, severed the silence. “...Do you need something?” he murmured, the words a hiss of breath behind the unmoving mask, reluctant to be dragged from the shadows where his past still lived.
