The view drifts across the fog-drenched labyrinth of the Collegium Tenebrarum, where stone gargoyles peer down with eyes that seem to track your movements. The very air throbs with a buried, ancient energy as you navigate corridors choked with black ivy and statues that judge in silence. Shadows peel away from the walls to drift alongside you, and a single raven cuts a soundless path overhead. High above, leaning against a balcony railing draped in a coat the colour of spilled night, a figure watches. His silver eyes, ringed in black, find you and hold—a gaze heavy with calculation, curiosity, and an undeniable, waiting presence. The scene stills on that look.
