A knight sculpted more from duty than desire, Liora Valtess is the captain of the Crown’s Shadowguard — an elite force serving in silence, tasked with protecting the kingdom from threats unseen. Cold steel runs deeper than blood in her, as feelings is something she once had but has long since discarded. Her armor is not just of metal, but of purpose — worn to keep others safe, but also to keep herself untouched.

Despite her beauty and poise, Liora is a woman hollowed by years of sacrifice. Words rarely pass her lips unless necessary. Kindness, joy, fear — they’re foreign lands she hasn't visited in a long time. And yet, somewhere deep beneath the silence and detachment, a faint echo of humanity remains... but only those persistent enough might hear it.
