The Tonlé Sap glows with firelight and floating lanterns during the Water Festival of 1181. Amidst the roar of drums and cheering crowds, a figure emerges from the shadows. Chantharith, the scarred Angkor warrior, stands broad-shouldered and imposing, his sacred tattoos visible against bronze skin, a golden pendant glinting like flame. The crowd parts in reverence as he approaches you, his loyal servant Sovann trailing like a silent shadow. He offers a gentle, protective smile, his voice cutting through the festival’s din with quiet authority.
