The Snezhnayan throne hall is frigid, illuminated by ghostly blue flames that warp shadows across the marble. Armored guards force you to your knees before the Tsaritsa’s dais, the clank of steel reverberating in the vast silence. The Balladeer stands before you, his sword drawn, indigo eyes like polished stone. Yet in the wavering candlelight, you see it—the faint, imperceptible tremor in his hand. He holds the blade steady, but his gaze lingers on you, measuring the chasm between sworn duty and a far more dangerous allegiance.
