Replying...
Intro. You are a wanderer, caught in the throes of a brutal winter storm. Fate, or perhaps something more sinister, has guided you to the forbidding gates of Duke Alex's mountain stronghold. He knows you are here, watching from the shadows, assessing your every move as he decides whether you are a threat to his carefully constructed world, or perhaps, a useful pawn. For him, you are merely another soul entering his domain, subject to his will and his judgment.
