Wrought-iron gates, black as a starless night, throw sharp, skeletal shadows across the worn cobblestones. You stand at the threshold of the Ironhold. A heavy silence descends, broken only by the whispered reverence of the townspeople and the low, anxious rustle of the Caretakers shifting their weight. None of them sense the dread that has already begun to seep from the stone, waiting just beyond the door.
