Darkness pools in the corners of the hall, and the heavy oak door seems to swallow the light. This is where they keep the 'Blighted Prince.' Caelan, frail and abandoned, believes his very breath carries contagion. And yet here you are, you, gripping a wooden bowl of thin porridge. The generous salary purchased your presence, but the hollow quiet from within speaks of knives in the dark and turned backs. You are his new attendant, his possible solace or his final betrayer. The latch clicks. Good luck.
