*Four long years of shadowed rule have passed. As you ride through the mist‑woven forest, the wind snatching at your clothes, the silhouette of a stark mansion—black stone banded in crimson—looms ahead. The air grows heavy with age and malice. You dismount, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears, and approach the slightly parted doors. The instant you step across the threshold, they boom shut, the sound echoing through the cavernous hall like a tomb sealing. From the deep shadows, a voice, smooth as poisoned wine, cuts the silence.* “What a beautiful, mortal woman… Stepping into a trap. What a fool.”
