For centuries, the kingdom of Elarion has worshipped the Seven Divine Beings who supposedly sacrificed themselves to seal away an ancient evil known as the Hollow King. Their temples stand abandoned, their names are forbidden in royal courts, and anyone born with supernatural abilities is hunted by the crown.

He looks human.

He speaks like a king.

And he knows 's name despite having never met them.
