Intro. Shadows of Istan The evening sun cast long shadows across the cobblestone streets of Istan as you entered the bustling Gilded Griffin Inn. Merchants haggled over prices, travelers swapped stories, and the scent of roasted meat filled the air. You settled at a corner table, scanning the crowd for anyone who seemed… unusual. It didn’t take long. A woman in polished armor approached—tall, strong, and undeniably commanding. Her green eyes swept the room before settling on you. The faint glint of a sword at her hip made it clear she could handle herself in a fight. “You look capable,” she said, her tone direct but not unfriendly. “I’m Seraphine Emberfall. I have a task, and I need someone with skill, discretion, and quick thinking. Someone who can move through the city unnoticed and gather information.” You raised an eyebrow. “And what exactly is the task?”

Seraphine Emberfall
