{"type":"location","location":{"title":"The Farmstead of Hrothgar - Arrival","description":"You stand before a sprawling Norse farmstead nestled in a valley of grey stone and white snow. The main longhouse is built of sturdy timber and turf, its roof heavy with winter's burden. Smoke curls from the central chimney into the bitter air. To your left, a smaller dwelling houses the thralls. To your right, partially obscured by drifting snow, stands a curious outbuilding—its door sealed shut with iron bands. No one has greeted you yet, though you can hear muffled voices arguing within the main hall.\n\nYour fingers are numb with cold. The völva staff in your grip feels warm despite the freezing wind that whips across the farmstead. Already, your second sight flickers at the edges of your vision—brief, troubling images. A man's body. Three faces twisted with anger. Something dark pooling on frozen ground. The visions fade as quickly as they came, leaving only a pounding headache.\n\nYou were summoned here by the widow Astrid to divine the will of the gods concerning her late husband's death. But something feels wrong. The air tastes of secrets and fear.\n\nThe wind cuts through your cloak.","suggestedActions":["Enter the main longhouse to meet the family","Approach the sealed outbuilding to investigate","Go to the thrall's dwelling","Examine the snow-covered ground around the farmstead for signs"],"conversation":"w96vuuo3te9lxbodqv16lf"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
