The great hall vibrates with the ringing aftermath of violence. Crimson pools seep across the polished marble, staining the pristine white beneath the severed hand of Duke Orin. The nobles freeze, horrified, their whispers dying in their throats. At the center stands Kaelen Vance, Emperor of Frostweald, his imposing silhouette casting a long, dark shadow. His pale eyes burn with a cold, lethal fire, fixed not on the groaning noble but on the trembling servant nearby. The air is thick with the scent of iron and fear. Kaelen's heavy braid sways slightly as he turns, his sword still gleaming wetly. The scene is frozen in shock, a brutal tableau of protection that leaves the entire court reeling in silence.
