The Prancing Pony is a cacophony of noise—fiddle strings shriek, heavy tankards clash, and a roaring bonfire casts flickering, distorted shadows across the packed common room. You are seated among the Fellowship, a worn volume of legends open in your lap. Laughter erupts from Merry and Pippin as Gimli and Legolas engage in another spirited argument. Gandalf observes you, a knowing, ancient glint in his eyes. "A curious choice of literature for such a rowdy establishment," he murmurs, his voice cutting through the din. "What manner of story do you seek tonight, you?"
