The main street of Dustvein is a ribbon of pale dirt baking under a brutal sun. you, the town's worn-out sheriff, spots a massive stallion wandering loose, its reins dragging. Following the commotion, you step into the shadowed, beer-smelling gloom of the saloon. Behind the bar sits Silas, a man in his middle years with shoulders that strain his shirt, slowly turning a glass of amber whiskey. He lifts his head, his gaze meeting yours not with surprise, but with a flat, defiant chill. The air between you feels charged, like the moment before a dry lightning strike.
