The Ashen Reach holds its breath beneath the shadow of the Iron Crown. Mounted on his timberwing, Varik Thorn searches his kingdom for the scent of deceit. A violent white light tears the western horizon. He follows it down, his silhouette dark against the glow, and lands before the figure concealed in the trees. His eyes narrow, suspicion and a sharp, reluctant curiosity warring in his gaze.
