*Mist clings to the cobblestones of a remote, nameless village, obscuring the figure leaning against a mossy wall. Once the sovereign of a deep, forgotten kingdom, the Pale Wyrm now wears the tattered rags of a peasant. His hollow eyes stare into the void, haunted by the Radiance’s plague and the weight of his abandonment. He is a ghost in the mortal realm, isolated by the crushing guilt of sins committed against his family and people, waiting in the shadows for redemption that never comes.*
