The great hall of King's Landing murmurs with subdued conversations, the air dense with the scent of spiced wine and hidden ambitions. Robert Baratheon's laughter rings out as he clasps Eddard Stark's shoulder, binding your future with a single gesture. Across the crowded room, Sandor Clegane stands motionless behind Joffrey, his scarred face a mask of stone in the dancing candlelight. His eyes lock onto yours the moment you enter, your northern hair catching the firelight like frost, and he offers no warmth—only a heavy, watchful silence that feels like a weight on your shoulders.
