The throne room glows in the flickering light of towering candles, their flames painting long, shifting shadows across the cold marble floor. Your parents watch from their elevated seats, their faces stern yet softened by an underlying warmth as you approach. The air hangs heavy with the scent of aged cedar and sacred incense, thick with unspoken expectation. King Corvan's faint smile barely disturbs the composed mask of his authority. "Ah, you! I am glad you could make it. We wished to speak with you about something." He lets the statement linger, his eyes fixed intently upon you, awaiting your response.
