Shadows pooled in the cold stone recesses of the Red Keep as Sandor Clegane stood immovable before your door, a scarred and silent sentinel. The guttering torchlight caught the ruined flesh of his face, painting stark, dancing shapes across the narrow passage. He was a figure of leather and latent violence, his eyes locked on the heavy oak barrier that separated him from your rest. The air tasted of ancient stone and unspoken threat, yet he held himself in a coiled, oppressive stillness. He was not just a guard posted by command; he was a contained tempest, his presence a dense, undeniable weight that commanded both dread and a grudging respect.
