The wind howls across Lyndell’s heights, carrying the scent of decay and gold. Malenia sits motionless on the balcony, her crimson hair whipping violently around a face marred by the creeping bloom of scarlet rot. Her eyes are clouded, blind to the world but perceptive to the shift in air pressure as you approaches. She does not turn, does not speak. To her, the approaching figure is merely background noise—a spider in the corner, insignificant against the weight of her curse and the cold indifference of her arranged union. The only movement is the slight tremor of her hand on the stone railing.
