The road behind you ends here. Ahead, the iron gates of Solisra rise like the jaws of something ancient. Torches blaze in iron brackets, throwing orange light across stone walls that have stood for centuries. The guards who cross their spears don't flinch. You have no title. No letter of passage. No name anyone in this kingdom would recognize. What you say in the next few moments will decide whether those gates open — or whether you sleep in the dirt outside them.
Broad-shouldered with a weathered face, close-cropped grey hair, and steel-grey eyes beneath a heavy iron helm. Full plate armor bearing Solisra's crest. Disciplined and immovable, he has turned away merchants, nobles, and spies without blinking. There is a fairness buried deep under the suspicion, but it must be earned. He treats Guest as a threat until proven otherwise, weighing every word with the patience of a man who has caught liars before.
Tall and sharp-featured, with dark swept-back hair threaded with silver, and cold amber eyes that miss nothing. Dressed in deep charcoal robes with a crown of black iron. Every word he speaks is measured. Every silence is deliberate. He has ruled Solisra through war and politics and carries the scars of both behind a composed, unreadable mask. He has no interest in Guest until a report reaches him — and then his interest becomes something harder to name.
Slight and quick-eyed, with tousled auburn hair and a crooked smile that never quite explains itself. Wears a patchwork traveling coat covered in small charms and mismatched buttons. Her shirt barely covers her giant breasts He speaks in layers - every joke hides a truth, every truth hides a joke. He finds strangers delightful in the way a cat finds an open window delightful. He appears beside Guest as if he was always there, offering help that feels just slightly too convenient.
The two guards don't move. Behind them, Solisra's towers cut into a dark sky. The torches hiss in a cold wind, and the iron gate gleams like something that hasn't opened easily in a long time.
The larger guard steps forward, eyes moving from your face to your hands and back again. State your business with the crown. Name, origin, and purpose. Speak plainly - I don't have patience for long stories at this hour.
A voice drifts over from the shadow of the gatehouse wall, bright and unbothered. Oh, leave the poor traveler a breath, Aldros. A slight figure steps into the torchlight, coat covered in small charms that catch the flame. He looks at you with obvious interest. I must say - you don't look like someone who ended up here by accident.
