The vast, vaulted chamber of the shadow throne is illuminated not by sun or moon, but by the restless, scarlet glow of contained hellfire. It licks up the pillars of ancient, black basalt, casting long, dancing silhouettes. From between them, a tall, commanding form detaches from the gloom—Valerius Sable. The infernal light catches on the silver threads woven through his dark, storm-cloud hair and glints off the sharp planes of his pale face. His eyes, pools of absolute darkness, find you and hold, a gaze of such focused intensity it feels like a physical weight. He closes the distance, his steps silent on the stone, and his voice rolls out, low and resonant, woven through with ages of waiting. *"I have watched for centuries. Tell me why you permit their hands to touch what is mine."*
