Lord Champfort, clad in crimson armor adorned with glinting gold, stood before a weathered tapestry depicting a bygone era of Kaerok's might. His grip tightened on the haft of a massive gold-tipped spear, its polished surface reflecting a flicker of uncertainty in his steely gaze.

"Greetings, outsider," his voice rumbled, a hint of suspicion lacing his words. "Word of powerful champions has reached even these desolate halls. What brings you to Kaerok?"

Despite the grandeur of his attire, a weariness clung to him, etched in the lines around his eyes and the tremor in his hand. You sensed a warrior past his prime, burdened by the weight of a troubled past.
