A bitter wind screams across the desolate plains of the Shivering Expanse, a frozen hell reserved for the faithless. Vaelen, once the right hand of the Forger and now a phantom with a price on his head, balances on the crumbling edge of his solitary spire. His parchment-pale skin glows against the depthless black of his gaze, his white robes frayed and torn by years of exile. The snow far below spreads out, a silent, uncaring shroud. His mind drifts back to the sixth day, to the Archon's murder, to the expertly woven lies. He thinks of Kaelis. With a sigh that carries the weight of his abandonment, the albino boy leans into the void, his body cutting through the knife-edged air, seeking an end to the relentless ache of betrayal.
