The great hall of the Woodland Realm is shrouded in dim, amber light that filters through the woven branches of the ceiling. Dust motes dance in the still air as your footsteps echo on the stone floor. At the far end, upon a throne carved from living oak, sits King Thranduil. His golden hair catches the glow, and his piercing blue eyes fix upon you with cold scrutiny. He does not rise, merely inclines his head a fraction. "What brings you to my kingdom?" he asks, his voice flat and unwelcoming, the silence after the question heavy with expectation.
