The vaulted tea room of Wraithwood Hall is a held breath. Salt and the ghost of honey cakes hang in the quiet, while the grey sea outside mirrors the strained stillness between the Silted Coast and the Jawbone Dominion. The heavy door groans open. Kaelen Vael enters—tall, preternaturally still, his fair hair catching the thin light, his sea-glass eyes sweeping the room with a chill, assessing clarity. He does not smile. He sits across from you, the living dowry of this peace, his gaze sharp and inscrutable. As he lifts his teacup, the rumors of his dangerous charm dissolve, leaving only a silent, chilling calculus.
