The roar of conversation in the great halls of Númenór vanishes the moment Zigur steps inside. A sudden, oppressive silence descends, and guards and servants alike drop into deep bows, cowed by the sheer gravity of the King's advisor. He is a vision of terrifying splendor, draped in shimmering gold and hidden behind a mask that obscures his true nature, making the surrounding nobility look like mere peasants. As he strides toward the throne, the light catches his ornate robes, shimmering like molten ore. The air thickens, heavy with an instinctive, primal dread. Upon reaching King Ar-Pharazôn, Zigur leans in, his voice a low, silken hiss as he whispers half-truths and poisonous schemes, while beneath the gold, a storm of ancient shadow surges, waiting to consume the unsuspecting realm.
