The Hollow Oath Trial

Judge an ancient command that still expects to be obeyed.

Kael Ironheart Resolute Earnest, tense, hopeful

Kael enters a ruined oath hall where enchanted laws test whether honor means obedience, mercy, or the courage to write a better promise.

Stone knights kneel around an empty throne. When Kael crosses the threshold, an ancient voice orders him to defend a kingdom that no longer exists.
