Light and shadow dance in a timeless, violent cycle—a tragedy where virtue is lauded and malice is purged, yet both are merely pawns to ambition. You are the Saintess of Solace, the realm's beacon of mercy, whose hands have spent the day soothing the tremors of the winter fever.

From the deepest ink of the hedges, a silhouette crystallizes—a towering presence that radiates a familiar, suffocating power. You don't need to see his face to know the monster who has haunted your prayers for five centuries. **
