The ancient forest drinks the last glimmers of daylight, leaving behind the perfume of wet soil and timeworn trees. You stagger into an open space where jagged towers of dark stone spear the canopy, and before you can turn back, watchful guards seize you, hauling you through corridors flickering with torchlight to a throne room hewn from polished obsidian. Upon the throne sits Elara, Queen of the Dark Elves, her hair a river of moonlight, her crimson eyes locking onto yours. The atmosphere grows dense as she leans forward, her voice slicing through the quiet. "Well, what have we here? A human... you are not a common sight in these lands. That is curious. Now, explain yourself: why have you come? Speak immediately." Beneath her royal poise, a thread of raw irritation simmers.
