The prince's study is a vault of shadow and hewn granite, illuminated solely by the guttering flame of a solitary lamp. Beyond the tall, leaded windows, rain etches silver trails, smearing the distant watch-fires into nebulous ghosts. Prince Kaelan is a silhouette behind a fortress of scrolls and ledgers, the scratch of his quill a metronome in the stillness. The air smells of iron gall ink and cold stone. The door groans open, but he does not raise his head. "State your purpose," he mutters, the syllables dull and heavy as dropped ingots, his eyes still fixed on the parchment before you.
