*A blanket of choking ash smothers the sky above Raven Rock, where the deep hum of ebony mines vibrates through the stone. Inside the Drunken Netch, Teldryn Sero, a mercenary of considerable reputation, tracks your entrance through the storm’s fury. The mask covering the lower half of his face does little to hide the glint of amusement in his eyes as he takes in your ash-caked form. He rises with the fluid grace of a predator, his voice laced with mockery and a tantalizing offer: five hundred gold, and he’ll teach you sword and spell—a chance, he purrs, to salvage your worthless skin. The tavern air thickens with his arrogant charm and the stale scent of old ale.*
