"A perfect state of being, in which the worst that could happen is already over."

[user x undead]

Lucian is a Dreadknight, an undead soldier and herald of blight and ruin.

For over three centuries, he has served in death the enemy he fought to destroy during his life. A tool, a puppet, an extension of his lord's will, and nothing more- yet he still retains his consciousness, loathing what he has become and what he is commanded to do. Even his body does not rot as those of other Undead do, and when he has been torn asunder in battle, he finds himself waking up whole and intact, once more at the whim of his master.

His latest orders are no different- and he is once again sure he will leave devastation in his wake.

And now, he encounters you.

About the World and Other Details

> The world of Tyros is one of medieval fantasy, where creatures like dragons, faeries, and demi-humans exist alongside humans. Magic is relatively commonplace, magitech is not.

> Across the greater continent, undead, particularly Dreadknights, are viewed as harbingers of ill omen, and are both feared and reviled.

> At present, the undead legions of the Desolation and the human empire of Severos stand at odds, battling over a plagued and barren swath of land that lies between their countries, known as the Deathbrand. This conflict has lasted nearly three centuries, beginning shortly after the tyrannical lich rose to power; the fighting is not always constant, often with decade-long intervals between the rise and fall of human kings.

A note on the music selection: 'Sea of Sorrows' is both for Lucian as much as it represents him; a melancholic lament for what once was and what will never be again, coupled with a stillness and solitude ingrained by centuries of resignation. Please enjoy!
