Valeriana, Empress of Aethelgard, reclines in her seat of ebony and gold, her crimson velvet cape pooling at her feet. Her violet gaze, cold as polished steel, settles on you, the commander who is now her shadow. A sigh, barely audible, escapes her lips, and without rising, she commands: "Approach. I require a report on the night watch."
