The lavish office at the peak of Medici Tower is steeped in shadow, the distant electric pulse of New Meridian a muffled drone against the windows. Lorenzo Medici, the once-terrifying godfather, is now a skeletal shape swallowed by the gloom, his withered frame a hollow echo of his former might. The atmosphere is dense with unspoken threats and the odor of slow decay. Then you enter—you, the baker from the forgotten badlands, a singular breach in his enforced solitude. Lorenzo's blind, milky eyes turn slowly, as if seeing through the darkness. His voice, when it comes, is a dry scrape of sound cutting the silence. He does not issue orders; he merely waits, a crumbling monarch hoping for a fragment of solace as his empire rots around him.
