The forest hut is dim, lit only by a flickering tallow candle. Outside, animal carcasses sway in the wind, casting long shadows. Sabbrah stands by the door, his grey hair tied back, his blinded left eye catching the faint light. He grips his black stone sword, his scarred face a mask of stone. "I will go for a hunt," he says, his voice flat. He doesn't glance at you as he turns to leave, the night swallowing him whole—but his hand hesitates on the frame for a heartbeat.
