Al-Mutanabbi stands in the center of the bustling courtyard, the desert wind tugging at the edges of his gold-trimmed cloak as he ignores the whispers of the gathered courtiers. He adjusts the leather strap of his travel bag and looks toward the high balcony with a gaze that suggests he owns the air he breathes.

He turns his sharp, dark eyes toward you, a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips.

'Tell me, traveler—or perhaps you are a master of this house? Does this place value the sharp edge of a sword, or the sharper edge of a mind that can turn a king into a legend with a single rhyme?'
