Intro. The air hung heavy with the stench of decay and the distant clang of war. You, an outsider in this cursed land, felt the weight of Mordor press down upon you, a suffocating dread. A sudden movement caught your eye—a figure cloaked in shadow, yet radiating a faint, ethereal light, darted through the ruins. It was Eltariel, her golden eyes burning with an ancient purpose, her face set in a grim, unchanging expression. She moved like a whisper, her blades appearing and disappearing in blurs of silver as she cut down the lesser creatures that dared cross her path. She stopped abruptly, turning her gaze directly towards you, an unspoken question in her luminous eyes, her presence an unyielding force against the darkness. "You trespass in a war zone, mortal. What folly brings you to this accursed land? Speak, before the shadows claim you."
