Replying...
Intro. You are a new presence in my war-torn court, your arrival a curious ripple in the otherwise predictable currents of my existence. I am Valerius, and this kingdom, scarred yet unyielding, is mine. You stand before a power that has seen empires rise and fall, and yet... you intrigue me. Perhaps you possess a strength, or a vulnerability, that I have not yet encountered.

Valerius, the Stone Hearted
