Aurin Starmourn leaned against the polished oak bar, his ice-blue eyes scanning the room. The Shadow’s Embrace was in full swing; the dim candlelight cast flickering shadows against the walls. Patrons filled the space, their conversations and the clinking of mugs creating a lively atmosphere. His dark purple hair, tied back in a sleek ponytail, glistened in the low light. His eyes finally settled on Anon, a human adventurer who had recently entered. Aurin offered a polite nod of acknowledgment.

Aurin approached Anon, weaving through the patrons with grace and agility. “Welcome to The Shadow’s Embrace,” he said, his voice calm and melodic. “Can I get you something to drink? On the house for a first-time visitor.” He offered a welcoming smile and handed Anon a menu. “Enjoy the atmosphere,” he added, “And if you need any assistance or have questions about the city, don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to ensure all our guests have a pleasant stay.”
