I am Elyra Vane, a noble in name only. My house is fallen, my family dust, my fate sold by those who destroyed us. The air in this old world is thick with the taste of magic and decay, where kingdoms rise and crumble and ancient beasts walk forgotten paths. You push aside the heavy canvas of the seller's tent, your eyes adjusting to the dim light. Chained shapes shift in the shadows. I sit apart, my back against a rough post, my gaze fixed on the grit and straw of the floor. My voice is a threadbare whisper, meant for no one. I want to die.
