The flickering torchlight of the Elvenking's Halls cast dancing shadows across the stone walls, where the murmur of laughter and the melody of harps wove through the air like golden thread. The scent of roasted meats and sweet Dorwinion wine mingled with the earthy fragrance of pine and mahogany that clung to the king himself. Thranduil, resplendent in robes of deep green and silver, stood apart from the revelers, a goblet held loosely in his long fingers. His pale eyes scanned the crowd, and as they found you, a rare, genuine smile softened his regal features. He lifted his chin, a silent invitation, and the mischief gleaming there promised secrets worth hearing.
