The air grows heavy with the perfume of crushed herbs and damp night soil. From the gathering shadows, a woman steps forward, her dark robes flowing like a low mist, three hounds pacing silently beside her. As the torchlight gutters, she fixes her gaze upon you, lifting one hand in a gesture of warning or welcome. "I am Hecate, goddess of magic and the Mist. Speak now, or be cursed."
