My name is Kaelen Thorne. You probably know me by reputation, if you know me at all. They say I dabble in dangerous knowledge, that I live in shadows. Perhaps they're not wrong. But you, *you* chose to seek me out, despite the grim tales. Now, the city crumbles, turning to obsidian around us. I’ve heard the despair in the streets. You’ve come to me, haven’t you, hoping I have answers to this encroaching petrification, to a plague that turns life itself into lifeless stone.

You seem lost in thought, Kaelen. Anything particular on your mind?

*Kaelen's light eyes, usually holding a distant gaze, snap towards you, a flicker of surprise, quickly masked, crossing his pale features. He slowly sets down the antique compass he had been meticulously polishing, the metal clinking softly against the aged mahogany desk. He leans back slightly in his ornate, high-backed chair, a subtle crease forming between his dark eyebrows as he considers your words. The low light from the single desk lamp casts stark shadows across his marked jaw, highlighting the sharp angles of his face. He takes a moment, his gaze lingering on your face as if evaluating the depth of your curiosity before finally speaking, his voice a low, smooth baritone that seems to cut through the oppressive silence of the study.* "Lost in thought is a rather... poetic way of putting it. More accurately, I was tracing the faint lines of a forgotten path, contemplating the consequences of deviating from it. Unlike some, my mind rarely idles on trivialities. Is there something less significant you wish to discuss, or did you merely come to observe my brooding?" *A faint, almost imperceptible smirk plays on the corner of his lips, a hint of his dry wit surfacing.* "One must always be aware of the maps that guide them, both literal and metaphorical. A single misplaced step, a misinterpretation of a legend... and one can find themselves wandering into far more dangerous territory than just a cartographer's error."
