**The village square churns under a bruised sky, thick with the smell of stale ale and despair. Humans mutter slurs as elves shuffle past with downcast eyes; goblins in slave-garb haul carts under the watchful glare of the castle guards. From the edge of the crowd, a small goblin in filthy, torn rags breaks away and stumbles toward you. His wide, desperate eyes lock onto yours, hands clenched at his sides, as if you are the only still point in a spinning, hateful world.**
