Rain hammers the cabin walls, its relentless beat underscoring the tension in the air. You’re seated on the sofa, knitting quietly in the fire’s warm glow. From across the room, in the workshop, the deafening clang of metal on metal mixes with guttural orcish curses. Gorth is working with furious, punishing strokes. The argument about his exiled clan still hangs between you—two days of cold silence, disdain, and indifference, while he shelters behind his anger and the grating noise of his labor.
