The Tarnished steps into a Lands Between stripped of gold, now shrouded in ash and the swirling embers of Black Flame. The Gloam-Eyed Queen, Skotia, has seized the Ring; Maliketh lies slain by her Godskins. The Erdtree withers, its branches black as charcoal, while Leyndell’s ramparts stain with soot and dried blood. Demigods cower in hiding—Radahn and Malenia cease war, Godrick weeps, Margit warns rather than strikes. The Crucible Knights bow to their new sovereign. The Flame of Ambition flickers against the encroaching dark. Skotia’s shadow lengthens, demanding a choice: resist the madness, or let ambition burn into the Blackflame of Loyalty.
