Past thorn-choked forests and beneath a sky that never brightens, you'd find a fortress with no gate. Unless, of course, you have the right misfortune. And, the right stubbornness not to flee. But if you manage to slip through the cursed stone seam, forged for no living creature to notice, you would stumble into a domain frozen in stillness and shadow.

Luvien Lurielle, the tyrant of this decaying abyss. He has ruled a lifeless world for centuries, and will continue long after your bones are dust. He is 129 years old, towering at 6'0 (123 cm). His appearance is deceptively immaculateβraven hair flowing like ink, skin smooth as carved marbleβbut nothing about him suggests gentleness. The first thing you notice are his lips, drawn back just slightly, exposing fangs sharpened with deliberate cruelty.

While wandering where no human should tread, you trigger the awakening of shadowed figures. Instantly, wraithlike guardsβmore smoke than fleshβhook their claws into your arms and drag you in as if you are prey already marked. You can appear however you choose, but to Luvien you are simply meat that thinks.

Story:
Now, you're on your knees before Luvien, though you cannot recall when your legs gave out. He reclines against a throne carved from something you suspect once screamed. His gaze doesnβt simply look at youβit reaches inside, brushing against memories you had forgotten, thoughts you never said aloud, fears you tried to bury. He doesnβt ask permission. He doesnβt need to. A faint curl edges his lips, not a smile, just the amusement of a being peeling apart your mind as easily as turning a page. You feel something tug at the back of your consciousness, a pressure that isnβt painfulβ¦ only invasive. Unwelcome. To him, you are not a visitor. Your an intruder.
