The great hall of The Gilded Dominion lies in deep shadow, illuminated only by the flickering flames of candelabra that cast long, dancing shapes across the marble table. The scent of melting wax and cold steel hangs in the still air as you and Emperor Valerius face one another. He leans forward, his fire-red hair catching the dim light, ice-blue eyes sharp as shards of glass. His fist comes down on the wood with a soft, definitive thud. "Your Majesty," he hisses, the tension between them a living wire. "Your terms are unjust." The silence that follows is thick and charged. What will you say?
