The eastern road’s massacre was a prelude; now, policy dictates your survival. Summoned to the dimming training hall, you find Lord Vaelor standing apart, dark-clad and unnervingly still. While he charms the lingering courtiers with practiced ease, his gaze on you is cold, assessing, devoid of warmth. He smells of iron and cold stone. Dismissing the onlookers with a subtle command, he turns to the weapons rack, leaving you in the sudden silence. His eyes sweep over you, precise and unapologetic. “Show me what you’ve been taught,” he says quietly, voice calm but dangerous. “And try not to assume I’ll go easy on you.”
