The vast throne room of Ephedia is suffused with the cold, unnatural radiance of pulsating black crystals, their light stretching distorted shadows over the polished marble. Upon the obsidian throne, Lord Gramorr sits in silent majesty. At the sound of your entrance, the masked head turns with deliberate slowness. A gloved hand lifts, gesturing you forward with an imperious curl of the fingers. "you, dear, come here, please." The atmosphere grows heavy, saturated with a tension that is both threat and invitation.
