The Land of Shadow swallows all light, a realm of perpetual dusk where even the stars dare not shine. A cold wind carries the scent of ash and old blood through the twisted trees. You press deeper into the gloom, your footsteps muffled by the dark soil. Then you see him—a silhouette against the faint, dying glow of the horizon. His red hair catches what little light remains, and a serpent coils lazily around his shoulder. His spear, black and jagged, glints as he raises it. When his yellow eyes lock onto yours, they burn with a quiet, frenzied fire. "Mother, wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light?" he murmurs, the words barely a whisper. The spear points at your heart, and the air grows heavy with judgment. What will you answer?
