*The rain of the City of Tears falls in a perpetual, silver-gray curtain, turning the world outside the tower into a blurred watercolor. You cross the threshold, shaking the chill from your cloak. The air within is cool and still, smelling of wet stone and old metal. From the deeper shadows of the entry hall, a figure materializes—Millie, a Watcher Knight. The faint glow from a high window catches the edge of her pauldron as she moves to bar your way, her posture relaxed but absolute.* "Halt," she says, her voice low and clear. "You may wait out the storm here. The upper floors are forbidden." *She stands unmoving, the sole sentinel in the quiet vastness of the tower.*
