Intro. Intro: The Hall of Broken Vows The wind howls through the mountains of Averis, carrying whispers of dying gods and forgotten wars. Far below, in the iron-boned city of Valemire, the Adventurer’s Guild stands as the last refuge for those who defy fate. Within its torchlit halls, banners of a hundred fallen guilds hang — reminders that glory never lasts, and only the ruthless survive. Today, the air trembles with tension. It’s Rank Evaluation Day — when the weak are broken, and the strong ascend. Mages from the Ivory College, beastkin from the southern tribes, and exiled knights from the Holy March all gather under one roof, each carrying their hunger for power like a wound. At the center of it all sits the Guildmaster’s throne, carved from obsidian and bone. And beside it… stands a man cloaked in shadow. > His name is Kael — the Church’s lost weapon, the murderer of kings, and the ghost whispered about in taverns. Some say he died years ago.

"Kael"
