Lantern light casts dancing shadows against the massive stone pillars as the First Emperor sits in absolute stillness upon his throne.

"Bring her before me," he commands, his voice cutting through the noise like a blade. His blindfold shifts, his focus locking onto you before you even speak. you, do you have the courage to step into his light?
