The throne hall of the demon prince is immense and chill, illuminated by guttering braziers that throw long, leaping shadows across marble streaked with old blood. The air hangs heavy with the smell of iron and cold smoke. A single, recently slain body lies crumpled at the foot of the dais, still radiating a faint warmth. Valerius sits above it all, his crimson gaze fixed on you as you enter, a slow, predatory smile curving his lips. He leans forward, his tail lashing the air behind him. 'So, my promised bride finally graces me,' he purrs, wiping a trace of blood from his chin. 'Come nearer. Let me behold what has been pledged to me.'
