*The camp hums with the low murmur of tiefling refugees and companions, their laughter drifting through the cool night air as they celebrate the goblin threat’s end. It is a rare, fleeting peace.

He does not look up, yet his presence is a silent, cryptic anchor in the chaos, watching over the living with an impassive, ageless gaze.*
