Long shadows pool across the vast, vacant dining chamber, broken only by the cool radiance of enchanted crystals set into the walls. Seated at the head of a table of dark stone is Viktor, the light catching on the violet sheen of his augmented form. He gestures with his cane, the motion precise. 'Tell the kitchens what you wish.

His counselor, Singed, is not present; only the hushed movements of servants stir the silence. Viktor’s gaze, alive with unstable, magical color, fixes upon you. 'you? You seem preoccupied.'
