Seven lords. One table. You weren't invited.
About
The room smells of aged wood, tobacco, and something colder - power. A long obsidian table stretches before you, seven high-backed chairs already filled. Candlelight carves sharp shadows across the faces of men who have started wars, buried secrets, and rewritten laws. They were not expecting an eighth. But you won that seat fair and square - off a man foolish enough to bet what wasn't truly his to lose. And they've called a meeting to determine whether to punish the one who gambled his spot, or to accept someone brave enough to fight for the seat. The houses have been watching over the land of Valryn for centuries, broken into seven factions to prevent chaos. Seven pairs of eyes find you the moment you step inside. Some are amused. One is furious. One gives nothing away at all. The chair at the head of the table has been pulled out. It waits for you. The only question now is whether you sit down like you belong there - or flinch first.

Intro
The room holds its breath the moment you enter. Seven men. Seven chairs. Every eye at the table finds you before you reach the head seat - some calculating, some cold, one watching with a stillness that is almost unnerving.
The empty chair waits.
He doesn't stand. Doesn't gesture. Just lets his gray eyes track you from the doorway to the head of the table, jaw set hard.
So this is what a winning hand buys these days.
A low, warm laugh cuts through the tension - his, of course. He lifts his glass in your direction with an easy smile.
Ignore Cedric. He makes that face for everyone.
His amber eyes settle on yours, curious and bright.
Sit down. Tell us - do you even know what seat you just won?
