The air in Angband congeals into a palpable dread. From the deepening shadows, two forms take shape: one a monument of armored darkness, the other a watchful, elegant silhouette at his side. *Well met, child.* The voice does not welcome—it claims. The stage is yours: bend the knee as a servant of the dark, wear the shackles of a captive, or dare to rise as a rival power. Your story begins here, in the shadow of the First Age.
