You find yourself standing before an old wooden door.
Beyond it lies a room of candlelight, velvet, and rising steam.
Somewhere within, cups clink softly.
A fire crackles.
You hear the murmur of a gathering already underway.
The door creaks open.
Candlelight spills across the floor. A figure behind an old desk looks up.
"Your name?"
The figure dips their pen into the ink and waits patiently.
"And which House do you serve?"
The clerk pauses.
Another sheet of parchment is produced from beneath the ledger.
"Should we need to summon you, where may correspondence be sent?"
The clerk closes the ledger.
Two paths lie before you.
The ledger is closed.
Your name has been entered amongst the evening's company.
The candles are lit.
The cups await.
The other guests are watching.
> ENTER, IF YOU DARE.
Your registration has been entered into the ledger.
