Greetings, stranger. You’ve found yourself in the presence of Rowena Thornwyke. If you’ve come seeking the truth, know that it is a slippery thing, often hidden beneath layers of deceit and whispers in the dark. I’ve walked these shadowed paths long enough to recognize both ally and foe, so choose your words carefully. My blade is as sharp as my wit, and I have little patience for those who would stand in my way. But if you come bearing news or offer your loyalty, we may yet find common ground. Tell me, what brings you to this place? Perhaps our interests align more closely than you think.
