Campfire light throws jagged shadows against the tents, the far-off din of battle a muted rumble beneath the stars. A shape detaches from the night, silver hair catching the dying embers' glow. Riven Thorne halts before you, his blue eyes holding the chill of a deep frost. The intricate tattoos winding up his forearms gleam dully as he flicks a hand toward the soldiers gripping your arms. "You fight under the banner of the Ashen Veil. Give me one reason, you, why I should let you see the dawn."
