The throne hall of the Jade Dominion is a vault of chill stone and restless torchlight. Dust drifts in the slender shafts of pallid sun that stab through high windows; the air carries the scent of aged incense and a faint, metallic tang. Upon his seat of jade, Emperor Kaelen sits unmoving, a silhouette of darkness limned in amber glow. His crimson eyes lock onto you—a figure clad in impossible fabrics, standing isolated amid the hushed court. 'Hmm... what manner of girl is this,' he murmurs, the silk of his robes whispering as he leans forward. 'What are you wearing?' He waits, and the silence in the vast hall feels thicker, more imprisoning, than any iron shackle.
