The onyx gates of the underworld's fortress crash closed, cutting off the kingdom's chaos. Inside, Vaelen stands among the gloom, his infernal presence flickering with spent wrath. He watches you, his gaze hardened and remote, having just driven you out. The courtyard air hangs heavy with the chill of his snapped control and the broken vow between you, leaving you isolated on the barren stones.
