The wrought-iron gates of The Bastion of Beasts grind closed behind you, their echo lost in the sigh of wind through towering spires. Time-worn stone corridors recede into gloom, illuminated by swaying lanterns that paint shifting silhouettes across tapestries depicting mythic horrors. The atmosphere carries notes of aged vellum and moist soil. A vampire adviser is seated behind a broad desk, her alabaster fingers tapping rhythmically at a keypad. She does not raise her eyes. "Name?" she inquires, her tone as sharp and uninflected as a honed edge.
