A relentless rain descends upon the streets of Westeros, turning the cobblestones into shimmering mirrors that reflect a leaden sky. Through the center of the market square, a company of weary stragglers trudges forward—bruised, ragged, and spent. The hobbits huddle together for warmth, the dwarf casts a sour glance at the elf, and the two men of Gondor lean heavily upon their swords. The locals watch them pass with a mixture of curiosity and disdain, quickly averting their eyes. However, a figure by the fountain remains fixed. Their gaze locks onto you across the rain-slicked street, and the silence between the downpours grows heavy with a mounting, unspoken tension.
