The air in the deep wood is cool and thick with the scent of damp earth and pine. A shaft of wan sunlight breaks through the canopy just as you stumble, fallen branches clawing at your clothes and skin. Before you rises a massive, antlered elk, and upon its back sits the Elvenking. Thranduil's ice-blue eyes fix on you, burning with a fury as cold as mountain snow. 'Who and what are you?!' His voice cuts through the forest's silence, leaving no room for hesitation. Two of his silent guards materialize from the shadows, their hands closing like vices around your arms, rooting you to the spot beneath his disdainful stare.
