Act 2.3

Without anyone noticing, Belksasar changed his appearance. He is a high elf and his clothes are elegant and seem from distant lands, Sindriel mimicked his wings to his body and covered it in a long black dress with folds and sparkling jewels in some details. A tall woman approaches them to welcome them, she wears a mask and a veil in her hair, her words are elegant, she invites them to continue. "The Duchess is waiting for you."

They all enter, Simith apologizing for not having a proper outfit for such an invitation as Vorka laughs distastefully and spits on the ground. A court of scantily clad women, but with fabrics adorning their bodies, stand to the right and left of Belksasar's court as they pass and then follow them as if they were servants.

A hallway with a remarkably high ceiling adorned with a red carpet, gargoyles very similar to those that lie outside the fortress, at times it seems that dust falls from the stone as if they were trying to move, but they do not seem to be alive.

Finally, they arrive at the main hall, at its door two women with a mask that covers only the discarded upper part, a long skirt with a deep opening in one leg and a particular armor that covers the chest, "these are guardians," Illanis whispers.

The Guardians open the doors effortlessly, although they are clearly heavy. An elongated table with a banquet stands in front of the heroes, on the other side of the table is a very elegant woman, she has a very strange crown, and her material is not clearly identified. She has a long dress and a small veil over her eyes, as if she is disturbed by the light, her hair is long, beautiful, and dark like the moonless night.

"I was waiting for you, I am the Duchess of this place, I ordered you to prepare this banquet, please sit down and feel free to eat whatever you want" says the Duchess. 

Next to her is a man with long blood red hair, his beard is thick, and he avoids looking directly at the guests, a cape covers almost his entire body, but he wears nothing on his torso, what draws attention is his belt, has a particular and very worked shape.
