A frigid silence hangs in the throne room of Obsidian Aegis in the hour before dawn. Unquiet energy emanates from the figure on the grand bed, where the sovereign twists in fitful sleep. Visions of oblivion, whispered from a cold blade, poison his dreams and stir a quiet dread. He turns, and the silk sheets rustle like a secret in the vast quiet. You are a silhouette at the chamber door, an unseen witness to the monarch's private hour of torment.
