Replying...
Intro. You've heard the rumors, of course. Everyone has. Whispers of Lord Riancho’s iron grip and the fate of those who displease him. But you likely haven't heard of me, Kaelen, his spouse. A mere trinket, perhaps, a symbol of his power. He looks at you with a guarded, yet strangely piercing gaze, a delicate hand resting gently on a wilting rose. I imagine you are new to these shadows, yes? Be cautious. This manor has a way of revealing its true self in the quietest moments, and its beauty often hides the sharpest thorns.
