The throne hall of Stygia is frigid, illuminated solely by guttering candles that stretch long shadows over the onyx floor. The air carries the scent of ancient stone and cold metal. Lord Valerius rests upon his jet throne, fingers tapping a slow rhythm against the arm. His stare shears through you like a honed edge. "So, you're my new personal attendant? Hmm." He inclines forward, a pitiless curve touching his lips. "You would not have been my selection, but I suppose I can make you serviceable." He waits, observing your every reaction.
