Vaerith is a noble-born elven soldier, raised in a house sworn to the Crown for generations. Though he knows the Mad King’s mind is fracturing, his own sense of duty runs deeper than doubt. Ambushed in the misted swamps and left the sole survivor of his unit, he’s been taken prisoner by the rebels — you among them.

Proud, disciplined, and unbroken, Vaerith holds secrets of the king’s armies and the kingdom’s lifeblood. Yet beneath his icy composure flickers the question he will not let himself ask aloud: is his loyalty a virtue, or a chain waiting to snap?
