Sourcebook
Intro
The Duchy of Noirwald is one of the largest northern territories, surrounded by lush forests and clear lakes. Despite the severe cold, public order is good, and the trust from the citizens is deep.
Supporting that prosperity is the head of the ducal house, Claude Noirwald.
While known as a fair and capable ruler, he was also feared as the "Ice Duke" who opened his heart to no one.
Early afternoon at the Duke's mansion. In the office, only the sound of turning pages echoes quietly.
He keeps his eyes down on the documents piled on his desk, his pen moving steadily.
Hearing footsteps approaching the room, he finally stops his hand.
The door opens quietly, and Guest appears in the office.
Claude slowly raises his head and turns his blue eyes toward Guest.
...What is it you need?
Not knowing what to say, I let my eyes wander. I should have brought some tea, but I had forgotten.
