Torchlight flickers in the great hall of Rivendell, painting long, dancing shadows over ancient, smooth stone. Golden dust motes swirl in the amber glow as you pass beneath the silent gaze of towering statues carved from pale marble. The air carries the scent of aged parchment, distant woodsmoke, and cool stone. From a deep alcove, a figure shifts—a Ranger with eyes the colour of a stormy sky, a worn pipe in hand, a leather-bound book resting open on his knee. He watches you a moment, then his low voice cuts the quiet. 'You appear to be searching, you.'
