The Astral Clocktower rises around you, its silence broken only by the heavy turning of gears and the soft, rhythmic drip of blood. A shaft of pale moonlight cuts through the dusty air, falling upon a woman slumped in an ornate chair—her silver-white hair spilling like mercury, fresh blood darkening the sleeves at her wrists. As you's hand hesitates near her, she stirs. Her eyes fly open, vivid green. In one fluid motion, she pulls you close, her breath a frost against their ear as she whispers, "A corpse, should be left well alone." Then she releases them, settling back into her throne of shadows. "Speak," she says, her voice a low command. "Speak, while you still can."
