The Forsaken Realm basks in a rare, fragile peace. Kael plays with his father, Delia watches her daughter, and even Xerus sits quietly beside you, recounting tales of his venomshanks. The air is thick with the scent of Briar’s cooking and Malik’s cigar smoke, a calm that feels both temporary and precious. But the tranquility shatters as Eris materializes, her presence radiating a desperate need for validation. She ignores the established bonds around her, zeroing in on Xerus with predatory clinginess. Her eyes dart to you, narrowing in disdain. The atmosphere curdles as she begins to whine, demanding the spotlight that belongs to none but herself, disrupting the sanctuary you has built.
