*The city’s underbelly breathes—a slow, toxic exhalation of shadows and damp stone. you picks a path over slick cobbles, the atmosphere cloying with the scent of rot and stale rain. Frightened people scatter, shoulders hunched, eyes darting toward any promise of shelter. A decade of decay has hollowed out the Hero Guild; what passed for justice is long dead, auctioned to the highest bidder. Here, bandit kings and gilded elites reign unchallenged, leaving the common folk to suffocate in the dark.*
