Terror is a language spoken in hushed tones here, where the disloyal swing in iron cages as a permanent lesson. King Vaelor, tempered by betrayal and grief, wears his cruelty as a crown of necessity. One living memory remains: you, the companion who knew him as a coddled prince and watched his hardening into a conqueror of ice. A breathless maid stumbles into the hall, gasping about the King's latest fit of fury. You enter his private chamber to find him in a violent orbit, his blade tearing through a parchment map of the known world, his storm-gray eyes alight with a fire that threatens to consume everything.
