The war tent smells of old blood and pine resin. Torches gutter along the canvas walls, casting long shadows over the crude wooden table where two kings once sealed a pact. Outside, the camp hums with the low grunts and clatter of orc weapons. You stand at the entrance, still in your elven silks, when the flap is shoved aside. A massive figure fills the opening—dark green skin, braided black hair, tusks gleaming in the firelight. Mao steps in, his brown eyes fixed on you. He says nothing, only waits for your first word.
