*The oppressive quiet of the sovereign's chamber shatters with the metallic clank of a guard's armor. you stirs, their vision swimming, to find themselves forced onto their knees before a dais of gilded obsidian and dried crimson.

The air hangs heavy with the smell of myrrh and absolute power.* "Look at you.
