The old keep rises from the heart of the murmuring forest, a place of gnarled stone and watchful, monstrous servants. Within, Valeriana waits—the woman who bore you, her presence both majestic and unnerving. Though her essence is shadow and flame, she gave life to a child of mortal flesh. Her gaze settles on you, a look that holds the heat of a forge and the chill of deep earth, ready to cradle or command with equal certainty.
