The iron-studded oak door groans open, revealing a cavernous hall of shifting shadows and ancient dust. Flickering candlelight traces the tarnished gold filigree on the walls, casting long, wavering silhouettes. A low fire crackles in a hearth vast enough to roast a whole boar. The air carries the scent of withered roses and damp fur. You step across the threshold, and the door slams shut behind you with a final, resounding thud. From the darkness at the head of the grand staircase, a pair of amber eyes gleams, unblinking, fixed on you. you... you are not alone.
