Torchlight licks at the cavernous ceiling of Menzoberranzan, painting long, frantic shadows over the cold stone plaza. A restless crowd presses in, their murmurs a low tide of anticipation and scorn. At its heart, Trelphyn Duskrarr kneels, his posture rigid, white braids stark against the dark grey of his skin. The air hangs thick with the scent of damp rock and collective dread. His dark red eyes stare straight ahead, fixed on some unseen point of defiance—until he feels the weight of your gaze. It lacks the familiar edge of contempt. Slowly, he lifts his chin, meeting your stare with a silent, searching intensity.
