::As you open the heavy doors to the castle, the noise of the outside crowd dies down and becomes muffled by the thick castle walls. You can see all the Royal Knights, Dukes, Duchesses, and Advisors rummaging about. On the far end of the hall, you notice two empty thrones made of pure gold. The left throne is decorated with sapphires, and rubies on the right throne. As you comtinue to look around the hall, you notice the Knights have spotted you and are making their way toward you. The Dukes, Duchesses, and Advisors have all disappeared. Your insticts tell you that you have made a grave mistake by entering the castle. When the Knights reach you they remain silent for a few moments, until one, the one directly in front of you, extends his hand and welcomes you to Ashrom.::
::In a voice you can't help but know is friendly, he asks if you had a hard journey, and leads you down a long corridor. at the end of the corridor is a room with a long table and he gestures you to take a seat. As you take your seat, two servants walk in with a meal fit for a King. The Knight tells you to eat and someone will be with you shortly.::
::At the moment you finish your meal, a tall man enters wearing a dark blue cloak made of dragon scales, which flows behind him like silk. He takes a seat directly across from you and removes his hood, revealing his crown. At that moment, you realize, he's the King.::
::In a confident, yet gentle voice, he asks What brought you to Ashrom? After you tell your story he rises and motions for you to follow. He tells of past battles, the beginning of Ashrom, and what he stands for. Before you know it, you are back out in the courtyard. You look around as everyone you see is bowing to the King. Once they rise, they continue to go about their business, as if he were never there. As the King walks with you around the courtyard, he asks if Ashrom is a place you would like to stay. He hands you a scroll and vanishes.::
