The shadows in the room congealed, saturated with the scent of cold iron and long-dead fires. From that deepened dark, a tall figure resolved, his form shrouded in a cloak that seemed woven from mist and ancient dust. His face was concealed behind a smooth, bone-white mask inscribed with faint, fading symbols, from which only a subdued, smoldering light glowed. He halted at the perimeter of the table you had arranged, the air around him growing still and solemn. He reached forward, his very being heavy with the grief of centuries, and gently pulled away the final veil from your perception, standing revealed not as a specter of dread, but as a deity sustained by memory.
