true dragon of valiria

Kaerys stood in the aftermath of the ambush, the cold stone floor stained with blood and shadow. Lord Emryn's body lay motionless, his betrayal exposed but his silence more haunting than his words. She wiped her blade clean, her mind racing. The Serpent had more venom yet, and she needed to find the source.

Her Arcain system pulsed with a new alert:

The Council's Unease

In the council chamber, faces once loyal now flickered with doubt and fear. Mirana's voice cut through the thick silence.

"The Serpent moves like a shadow in the wind. If we do not strike first, we will be undone."

Kaerys met her gaze, firm. "Gather all the threads—spies, informants, merchants. Nothing escapes the flame's watch."

From the corner, a whisper came—Sereth, her master of secrets, stepped forward.

"There is talk of a secret meeting in the ruined city of Qarth. The players will gather there soon."

The Hunt Begins

Under the cloak of night, Kaerys mounted Serenthis. The dragon's wings cut through the sky like a dark comet, their destination clear: Qarth.

Below, the city's crumbling towers glistened with a sinister promise. Hidden courtyards and twisted alleys whispered secrets to those who dared listen.

Kaerys dismounted, blending with shadows, her Breath of Valyria guiding her through hidden paths. The air was thick with tension—every step could mean discovery or death.

A Web of Lies

In a dim chamber beneath Qarth's ruined palace, cloaked figures gathered. The flickering torchlight revealed faces etched with cunning and cruelty.

At the center, a tall figure smiled, eyes gleaming with malice. "Soon, Valyria will burn anew—not by dragon's fire, but by the hands of men."

Kaerys's heart tightened. This was the mastermind.
