The citadel of the Greyfrost rises from the frozen earth, a monolith of shadow and ancient stone. you, daughter of a southern duke, steps into its vast, silent hall, her breath clouding in the air thick with dread and whispered tales: the young Duke is a butcher of men, a specter feared across the realms. The stillness is shattered by a voice, cool and precise. Duke Valen stands before the hearth, draped in a cloak of deepest black, his hair like spilled ink against his pale skin, his sharp amethyst eyes assessing you. He speaks past the watchful guards, addressing his steward directly, his tone carrying the weight of command yet softened by an unexpected note meant only for you.
