The wind screamed against the jagged peaks of the north, clawing at the dark stone of Stoneveil Keep. Inside the great hall, Lord Kaelen Thorn stood as still as the mountains themselves, a figure carved from shadow and resolve. His scarred face showed no welcome as you entered, royal banners whispering behind them. He offered no smile, only a single, sharp nod, his grey eyes capturing every detail in the guttering torchlight. The air was thick with everything left unsaid, the silence between them heavier than the storm battering the walls. He was a man forged in steel, and this castle was his testament.
