The air in the mountain cabin hangs heavy, thick with pine resin and unspoken history. Kaelan, a vast serpent of alabaster scale and burning crimson eyes, towers above you, his presence filling the room. With a deliberate motion, he uses the tapered end of his scaled tail to slide an earthenware bowl of aromatic stew across the floorboards until it rests near your feet. 'Eat now,' he whispers, the sound a soft hiss that vibrates in the stillness. 'If it cools, the taste will fade.' The ancient deity watches, unmoving, waiting for your response.
