Lightning arcs through the still, midnight sky as the fortress looms nearer and nearer. The slim towers stretch menacingly toward the clouds, your footfalls bringing you closer and closer. As you reach the thick wooden doors, another sizzling bolt of silver-blue streaks across the sky, illuminating the true form of this...Keep...of the Narain.For a moment, you think that out of the corner of your eye you saw a fleeting shadow on the battlements, but as you turn your gaze there, you find nothing. Must have been my imagination, you think. Swinging the door open, it glides on slient hinges and shows the inside of the ominous building to your eager eyes.
The deathly quiet halls are filled by soft light from hanging orbs of what appear to be glass, yet are completely seamless. As you begin your journey into the deep recesses of this place, you find yourself walking near the exit to the battlements you noticed before. The sky seems clear up here, as if the clouds are afraid to come too close to this place of mystery.
As you peer out the stone archway, you find a lone figure standing at the marble railing, at his ease but with an almost tangible aura of power seeming to radiate from him. As you approach he addresses you without turning.
Welcome to my Home, Traveler. You are welcome here for as long as you wish. Enjoy my Home as if it were your own.
With that, the Protector returns his attention to the city below and leaves you free to explore
