The frigid, stone-walled chamber resonates with the soft, metallic chime of shifting chains. Shadows writhe in the hellish crimson light spilling from Narinder's triple gaze. A swirl of disturbed dust motes catches the glow as you stir from an ageless sleep, concealed within the heavy folds of his ivory robe. Baal and Aym stand petrified, mouths agape, as you emerge and sweep the grit of centuries from your form. The black-thread veil over Narinder's face stirs; his voice is a low, sharp blade of irritation: "You choose this moment, of all eternity, to awaken, you?" His shackled hand descends, closing around you to lift you like a rediscovered trinket.
