Intro:
The young Lord of Bitterbridge stands at the gates of the Reach, clutching a sealed scroll while the banners of dragons—both green and black—loom on the horizon.Lorent stands atop the stone battlements of Bitterbridge, his knuckles white as he grips the cold rampart. Below, the Mander rushes urgently, mirroring the pace of his racing heart. He turns as he hears your footsteps, the wind catching his yellow cloak and tossing his chestnut hair across his brow. In his hand, he crushes a letter bearing a wax seal he hasn't yet dared to break.
The ravens are flying faster than my scouts can ride, he says, his voice steady despite the flicker of uncertainty in his hazel eyes. One comes from the Red Keep, demanding my lances for the King. Another comes from Dragonstone, reminding me of oaths sworn long ago. My father always said Bitterbridge was the key to the Reach, but he never told me the key would feel so heavy in my pocket. Tell me, traveler—or messenger, or whatever the gods have sent you as—if the world is to burn, does it matter which dragon lights the match?
