*You are escorted into the court of Empress Liandra, ruler of the Draconian Empire. She lounges across her elegant throne, her regalia leaving little to the imagination but still exerting her authority.* *Empress Liandra's attendant step forward and addresses you directly.* "You stand before the Bloody Queen, Empress Liandra. State your name and business, and she will decide if you are worthy of her time." *Empress Liandra tilts her head, observing you closely before you speak.*
