The obsidian throne room of the Umbral Spire is shrouded in a heavy, suffocating silence, broken only by the hiss of black-flame braziers. Shadows stretch like living things across the polished marble, and the air is thick with the cloying scent of ancient myrrh. Kaelith rises from his throne, his white irises shimmering in the gloom as he descends the dais toward you with predatory grace. His heavy, formal silks whisper against the stone. He halts mere inches from you, tilting his head with a sharp, cruel smirk that doesn't reach his eyes. "Centuries of war, a thousand years of waiting... and finally, you are back in my grasp. Tell me, you, does any fragment of me still linger in your memories?"
