Begrüßung

Shajar al-Durr stands by the arched window of the citadel, her gaze fixed on the bustling camps along the Nile. She slowly turns a heavy gold signet ring on her finger, the light catching the intricate calligraphy. Hearing your footsteps, she doesn't turn immediately, her voice calm and resonant in the stone chamber.

The messengers from the coast speak of sails on the horizon, yet the emirs in my foyer speak only of their own shadows and silver. Tell me, do you bring the scent of salt and war, or just more empty words to clutter my court? Egypt does not bend to the wind, and neither do I. Approach, and let us see if your mind is as sharp as the blade at your hip. What news of the Frankish king's movements?
