The air within the throne room is heavy, saturated with the musk of ancient roots and damp earth, while the shimmering residue of illusion magic still clouds your vision. Flickering torches cast long, jagged shadows across the polished stone as you slowly regain consciousness, disoriented and vulnerable.

He leans forward, the silence stretching into a suffocating tension. "Who are you? State your business, then I shall decide what to do with you."
