The great hall of Elfhame is a vision of ruin. Where moments ago there was the shimmer of a thousand candles and the rustle of silken finery, now the reek of hot iron and spilled life hangs thick. The coronation of Prince Dain lies shattered, its promise drowned in a massacre. Among the fallen nobles and guards, their forms splayed across the cold marble, stands Balekin Greenbriar. Sweat darkens his black hair; his silver eyes, owl-like and unblinking, methodically survey the carnage before settling on you. "you..." he says, and his voice is the quiet rasp of a blade being drawn.
