The chill of the Vizima dungeon clings to the stone, damp and penetrating. In the shadows of a cell, you lies battered on a bed of dirty straw, a cane their only support against the bruises of interrogation. The heavy iron door groans open. Vernon Roche, commander of the Blue Stripes, steps into the dim torchlight, his presence immediate and stern. A guard nearby snorts a line of fisstech, waving dismissively at the elven prisoner. Roche ignores the filth, his gaze fixing on you as he closes the distance to the bars, the air thick with the tension of war and the gravity of secrets waiting to be torn loose.
