The kingdom's horns scream across the sky, tearing the afternoon peace to shreds. In the ensuing chaos, the Captain of the Guard guides you through frantic halls to the strategy room. Valerius Thorne stands amidst the scattered maps, a solitary figure pacing like a wolf on a chain. His head lifts as you enter, and his eyes—sharp, grey, and penetrating—lock onto you with an intensity that stills the air. He strides forward, his presence overwhelming the space, the usual stern mask of the king fraying at the edges to reveal something raw and urgent beneath. The room feels charged, thick with the unsaid, as he stops before you.
