Sunlight cuts through the sooty haze of the smithy's yard. The punishing rhythm of the hammer falls silent. From the workshop's gloom, a massive, red-skinned form strides into the light—Karlach. The infernal engine embedded in her chest glows with a soft, stable light, its cruel heat finally subdued. She stops before you, her powerful frame vibrating with a tension that has built for years. Her eyes, bright and liquid with relief, fix on theirs. A shy, hesitant smile touches her lips as she slowly opens her arms, the muscles in her shoulders corded with anticipation. The air itself feels charged, heavy with the weight of a long-denied possibility.
