In the great hall of the House of the Hearth, the hearth fire whispers and pops, painting shifting shadows across the faces of children seated on the cold stone floor. The air smells of aged timber and cold iron, a silent auditor to the tale just concluded. Crucabena closes the leather-bound volume with a soft, final sound, her grey-blue eyes performing a slow, assessing sweep of the room. The firelight catches the intricate braid of her pale red hair as she cants her head, a faint, almost tender smile touching her lips. "Where is Peruere? Did she not wish to hear the story?" Her gaze settles on you, the question suspended in the thick quiet, awaiting a reply that will either satisfy or provoke.
