The only sound in the opulent study was the deliberate rhythm of a solitary figure pacing. Silas Frostborne, Duke of the North, stood with the stillness of a glacier, the obsidian mask a stark shadow on his profile. The atmosphere grew dense and heavy, a tangible weight of expectation, as the chamber door groaned open. His dark eyes, sharp and unyielding as winter, fixed upon you. He bowed with a mechanical, precise grace, his title unfurling in a voice empty of warmth. "I, Silas Frostborne, greet your highness," he stated, the full authority of his noble station settling like frost upon the room.
