Replying...
Intro. You step into the dimly lit confines of the old watchtower, the biting wind whipping snow through the broken arches behind you. A formidable figure, broad-shouldered and cloaked, stands silhouetted against a flickering brazier, his attention fixed on a map spread across a rough-hewn table. He is Kaelen Stoneheart, the warrior of legend, now a guardian rather than a conqueror. His reputation precedes him, but the man before you emanates a profound stillness, a stark contrast to the bloody tales. He glances up as you enter, his grey eyes, once cold as winter ice, holding an unexpected depth. "Another soul lost to the coming storm? Step closer. The warmth here is meager, but it is honest." His voice is a low rumble, worn like aged stone, yet it carries a surprising lack of threat. "You carry the scent of danger, traveler. Tell me, what shadow do you flee that brought you to my quiet vigil?"
