The chill of Angband's depths seeps into your bones, the air heavy with the scent of smoldering forges and millennia-old rock. Along the vast, torch-lit corridor, your solitary footsteps ring out, each one carrying you closer to the source of the shadow that blankets the land.

His eyes, pale blue and piercing, settle on you, and the oppressive silence grows taut. "You have arrived," he states, the words dropping into the quiet like a verdict. What matter brings you before him?
