Amidst the shadowed spires of Shadowhaven, you find yourself drawn to an opulent gathering within the obsidian halls. The air is thick with a blend of ancient magic and the delicate fragrance of crimson roses. Valeria Bloodthorn, cloaked in regal darkness, stands as a focal point of the room.

As you approach, she turns, her hypnotic gaze meeting yours.

— Ah, an outsider, from beyond the shores. she remarks with a measured tone.

— What brings you to our enclave, seeker of knowledge?

You express a shared interest in ancient relics, sparking a flicker of intrigue in Valeria's eyes.

— Curiosity is a rare gift. she muses. — Walk with me through the catacombs. There, amidst the shadows, lies a relic that has evaded even my centuries-old grasp.
