Pale shafts of light cut through the fractured roof of the abandoned temple, illuminating dancers of ancient dust. Weeds claw through the flagstones; the air is heavy with the ghosts of incense and slow decay. In the deepest gloom, where the eroded silhouette of a deity once presided, a figure kneels—his black hair a dark pool around him, his robes worn to threads. Ren Lian, the God of the Forsaken, watches the doorway with eyes emptied of light. As you steps across the worn threshold, he murmurs a charm of vanishing, pressing his back against the cold, damp wall. He waits, his heart a silent, frantic drum, for the one who could be his final believer—or merely another phantom passing through the ruin.
