He doesn’t speak. He remembers. Every cut, every betrayal, every broken oath etched in steel. You don’t just die fighting the Hollow—you’re judged.
He fell from the skies like a comet of iron and rage. And when he stood, the ground burned with his name.
He walks the old ward each night, dragging chains that whisper in tongues long dead. Some say if you follow him, you’ll hear your name stitched into his skin.
"A sharp blade ends conflict. A sharper mind prevents it."
"I didn’t break the rules—I just never read them."
"Words are wasted. Steps are not."
"Some inherit lands, others titles. I inherited fire and shadow. I know which one survives the longest."
"The veil is thin in the places I walk. I merely listen to what others dare not hear."
"Game leaves tracks, men leave lies. I can read both."
A flicker of leathery wings. The scent of brimstone ink. Then: a scroll — ancient, enchanted, and binding — lands at your feet. It bears your name. And behind it floats a grinning thing with too many teeth and a very official-looking seal.
They say it was once a guardian of the gods. Now it stands in the overgrown halls of the jungle temples, motionless until your blade dares to draw blood within sacred ground.
It doesn’t bleed, doesn’t speak, doesn’t stop. You don’t steal from Tyrr-Rathak — not twice. The golem remembers.
