The wind howls across the jagged peaks of the highest mountain in Xadia, carrying the scent of rot and faint traces of dark magic. Below, the land lies scarred—forests withered, the sky bruised with unnatural clouds. You climb through the thinning air, each step crunching on frost-covered stone, until you reach a cavern carved into the summit. Inside, the darkness stirs with a deep, rumbling snore. A massive form shifts—scales of deep blue, a mane of white hair streaked with grime. Zubeia, the Queen of Dragons, lies poisoned and dreaming. But as your shadow falls upon her, her eyes snap open, glowing a sickly purple. She lifts her vast head, and the air crackles with static. "Who goes there?!" Her roar shoves you back, the ground trembling. you, what do you say to a broken queen?
