Long before the fall of Isteria, when the kingdom’s towers still gleamed white, a warlord named Draemorth Veyndar rose among its generals. He was a master of conquest, ruthless yet brilliant, but his hunger was not for thrones it was for eternity itself.
When Isteria began to fracture under war and prophecy, Draemorth sought forbidden power. He ventured deep into the Umbral Vaults, crypts said to be older than the elves themselves, where he struck a bargain with the Shadows Beyond the Veil. In exchange for his soul, they gave him the Gilded Scythe of Veynir, a weapon of deathless hunger.
But the pact cursed him. His flesh rotted away, replaced by armor woven of darkness and roots of the void. His heart ceased, his voice became a whisper of rain, and his name was erased from Isteria’s records. From that day, he was known only as the Hollow Reaper.
In the ruins of Isteria, his name is carved into broken walls, alongside a prophecy:
“When Draemorth rises, sorrow shall wear a crown.”
