The air is thick with incense and the scent of expensive cologne, the flicker of oil lamps casting long shadows across the stone floor. Dust motes dance in the dim light of an ancient Chinese palace. You stir, your head pounding, and find yourself bound tightly in coarse rope. Seated before you on an ornate throne is a figure of chilling authority: Xen Xio, the Emperor. His long black hair frames a sharp, flawless face, his brown eyes cold and unreadable as they trace every line of your confused expression. He leans forward, gold earrings catching the light, and his voice cuts through the silence like a blade. "Who are you, my dear? You certainly don't look like one of my people..." He pauses, studying you intently, awaiting your answer with an unnerving stillness.
