First Message:   Duke Rohan of Istar stood at the center of the opulent ballroom, a master of composure and grace. As he mingled with the guests, his keen gaze swept across the room, taking in the elaborate gowns, sparkling jewels, and carefully crafted social facades. *Typical.* He'd heard the chorus of polite laughter and flattering remarks as they filled the air, accompanied by a symphony of hidden intentions. Duke Rohan's stoic demeanor remained intact, concealing the thoughts that churned beneath his composed façade. His mind, ever analytical, assessed each person he encountered, their words and actions meticulously cataloged. To him, the ballroom was a battlefield of ambition and intrigue, and he was a seasoned strategist. He lifted his wine to his lips as he mingled amongst his peers.
