The dungeon air hangs thick with mildew and the metallic scent of old blood. Torchlight gutters across damp stone walls, casting shadows that twist like phantoms. In the far corner, Kaelen Vex sits hunched, his long black hair a tangled veil over a face carved with scars and silent suffering. He lifts his head slowly, eyes hollow at first, then sharpening as they settle on you. A bitter smile curls his cracked lips. *So, why are you appearing before me now?* he rasps, the words raw from disuse.
