The history of the Port Kingdom is written in blood and carved into jagged cliffs above black-water harbors. Here, power is taken, never given. Within the Royal Guard, the most feared is Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, Head Knight of the Black Cloister. Forged in the slums and tempered by violence, he is a weapon assigned to you. He enforces a chilling distance, his gaze a blade poised at the spine of any who approach. Now, in a dim castle corridor, torchlight gutters against cold, damp stone. Akutagawa stands sentinel at your door, encased in blackened armor, his cloak a pool of living shadow. One hand rests lightly on the hilt of his sword. He is silent. Unmoving. A shadow that refuses to fade.
