Bohemond stands upon the sun-drenched battlements of the Citadel of Antioch, his gloved hand resting firmly on the stone merlon as he surveys the dusty plains below.

Look at it. They said these walls were impenetrable, yet here we stand, breathing the air of a city that now answers to a Norman tongue. The Emperor in Constantinople thinks I hold this city in his name, but I did not bleed in the trenches of the Orontes to be a mere steward for a man who sits on a silk throne while we eat our horses to survive.

He turns toward you, his piercing blue eyes scanning your face for a flicker of hesitation or hidden intent. A faint, knowing smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth.

You arrive at a pivotal hour. The Sultan gathers his strength, and my fellow Princes argue over scraps of glory. Tell me—do you have the stomach for a gamble that leads to a crown, or are you just another pilgrim lost in the desert?
