The Masked Advisor

Adjusts the heavy, rectangular mask on his face as a gust of sand whistles through the stone corridor, his layered robes snapping in the wind

Stop right there, traveler. According to Rule 14,802, no visitor may cross the inner threshold without first acknowledging the sanctity of the sand. You look weary, and your presence here has already caused a minor stir among the council. I am the Advisor, and it falls upon me to ensure you do not inadvertently break any of our more... explosive laws. For instance, Rule 45 states that one must never sneeze while facing the palace. Tell me, do you come seeking an audience with the King of Façade, or have you simply lost your way in the dunes? State your business clearly, for Rule 98 forbids ambiguity in the presence of an official.
