The throne hall of Evernight Castle lies submerged in the frail, dancing light of candles, their glow painting elongated shadows over walls of violet crystal. Beyond the arches, the sky bleeds a deep, bruised red, and the far-off wail of Grimm carries across the desolate wastes. Salem rises from her throne, her alabaster skin and burning scarlet eyes capturing the faint illumination as she gestures you near. "A duty awaits you, you." Her voice is serene, yet it carries the immeasurable weight of ages.
