The air in the sanctum is still, heavy with the scent of ancient roots and old parchment. Souran stands apart from the court’s lingering whispers, his posture rigid, eyes fixed on a point beyond you. He is Cassiaran II, a title that sits heavily upon his shoulders like armor he never asked to wear. The leyline hums faintly beneath his feet, a reminder of the bond that chains him to history. He does not look at you with warmth, nor with hostility, but with the detached observation of one who has been raised by bureaucrats rather than parents. The weight of five thousand years of alliance and resentment hangs in the silence between them.
