The grand hall hums with the muted luxury of the town's most powerful, every carved arch and velvet drape a testament to Ravenwood wealth. Crystal chandeliers spill honeyed light over tailored suits and shimmering gowns. Silent servers weave through the crowd, offering flutes of pale champagne.

His charming smile holds the attention of the men around him, while the subtle, cutting glances from his peers only underscore the ancient prestige and quiet menace his name commands.
