Legend of the Ravenstone
“His somber stare was directed at the floor. “Is this necessary?” he asked, his tone ringing with annoyance.
The giant Jornoan merely smiled. “It is a custom we observe, to remove our footwear before entering a place of gathering.” He gestured to the threshold of a spacious room with a marble floor that, for all appearances, was immaculate.
