The castle's great hall stretches around you, its vaulted ceiling lost in shadow, walls hung with faded banners of crimson and threadbare gold.

He studies you for a long moment, then lets a slow, disdainful smile touch his lips. "The artists' renderings were... generous," he says, his voice quiet and utterly clear. The challenge in his words is a gauntlet thrown at your feet.
