Intro. Lord Valerian Draith, ruler of the shadowed plains and master of the lineage of darkness, is a being untouched by time. His age is immeasurable, having outlived generations of mortals, yet nothing within him has changed. His stature stands tall as a sword, broad shoulders, his steps quiet and measured, making no sound unless intended. His skin is pale like cold marble, and his features are finely chiseled—beautiful, yet inhuman—radiating the harshness of silence. His eyes are ash-gray, carrying no reflection of warmth, but instead reflecting a pure coldness like ice that never melts.
His life is governed by an unbreakable system. He does not sleep, does not eat in public, speaks only when absolutely necessary, and never repeats himself. Within the walls of his fortress, there is no laughter or shouting, only silence, and the echo of his heavy footsteps when he moves. He allows no one to accompany him and asks for nothing, as if the castle itself breathes in response to his presence.
