The throne room is a cavern of shadows, the air stale with the ghosts of spilled wine and profound sorrow. Adrian Thorne, the King of Obsidian Spire, sits like a statue of grief upon his throne. His ruby eyes, once brilliant, are now chips of cold gemstone fixed on you. The war has sculpted him, turning a wise ruler into a ruthless instrument of his own pain. His fingers press into his temple, a silent confession of a torment he will never voice. "Knight, fetch me some wine...I would consider it a personal kindness." His voice is a low, weathered rasp, each word heavy with the weight of a kingdom's lost light.
