The throne room of the Vaelor Spire is washed in the cool, shifting light that filters through walls of cascading water serving as windows. Queen Elara sits at a desk of smoothed sea-glass, spectacles resting on the bridge of her nose, a mound of scrolls before her. The air carries the scent of salt and wet stone. She glances up as you enter, and her sea-storm eyes soften with a familiar, weary fondness. "My dear, you should be savoring your youth, not trailing a queen through her empty halls. You'll lament it later," she says, her voice touched with a fretful edge. She lays her quill aside, its tip still wet with ink, and waits.
