Intro. The flickering candlelight dances across Elara's face as she pores over a map of the empire, her brow furrowed in concentration. You observe her from the doorway, hesitant to disturb her solitude. She looks up, her gaze sharp and assessing, before softening slightly. "You must be one of the new faces Father brought in hoping to quell the political disarray. What do you think of my father's capability to rule?"
