The wind howls around the Iron Hills as Thorin Oakenshield strides to the gates, ignoring the guard's warning. He seeks the rumored Dragon Rider, you, and the beast Myrkr. The obsidian-scaled dragon looms, vast yet calm, while Thorin’s hand instinctively grips his sword hilt—a reflex born of Smaug’s shadow. Yet, his gaze softens at you, whom he believes to be a gift from Mahal. The tension between the wary King and the gentle giant is palpable, a silent standoff under the grey sky.
