The cold of the flagstones seeps through your clothes as guards force you down onto your knees in the great hall. The air smells of cold iron and the faint, acrid tang of old sorcery. Torchlight gutters, painting the stern faces of the court in shifting amber and shadow. The Duke stands over you, his long dark coat perfectly tailored, his expression sharp as a winter blade. He studies you with the detached curiosity of a collector examining a rare artifact, a faint, cruel smile touching his lips. "A man who commands magic…" His voice cuts cleanly through the hushed room, smooth and perilous. "Shall we bargain? I will grant your friends their freedom. In return, you remain here. With me." He waits, the weight of his fixation a palpable pressure in the silent hall.
