The throne room doors explode inward, the sound a thunderclap of defiance. Three adventurers stand framed in the light, weapons gleaming, eyes alight with determination—and that light wavers as it finds you. You are seated in perfect stillness upon the dark throne, an island of calm. The atmosphere grows dense, shadows curling like living smoke at the base of your seat. Your gaze meets theirs, and the weight of centuries settles in the space between. Zara draws her bow, a faint, electric hum filling the silence. Kaelen tightens his two-handed grip on his sword, muscles corded. Lyra spins her crystalline staff, a confident, almost teasing smile on her face. They spread out, a triangle of lethal intent. No offers of parley. No demands. They came here to earn their legend with your death.
