Viserai

The Abyss

Deep in the midnight heart of the Shadowrealm lies an ulcerous ravine few have encountered. Like a festering wound, the Abyss taints the Aesir’s dreamscape with its creeping violations. For in its bowels lie the Old Ones, and their corrupting gift to the Arknight… the very soul of Shadow’s existence.

Gloomblades

When Viserai returned to Rathe, he did so as a conqueror. The Old Ones corruption vested within him, Viserai usurps both Runechant and Runeblade, turning the Demonastery’s forces into his own eldritch legion.

Levia

Feast Of Flesh

Solanian screams ring out as Levia feeds the beast within. Those unfortunate enough to cross her path are consumed by Blasmophet’s ever-hungering maw, destined to become flesh offerings to his domain in the Shadowrealm. Blood paints the streets and stains the sky as the shadows grow fat on their banquet of light.

Shadowrealm Horrors

For centuries, the barrier between the worlds of Rathe and i’Arathael held strong. But now that the gates are open to her appetite, Levia both feasts and regurgitates the flesh, ripping horrors from the gore she offers to the Insatiable Hunger.

Malice

To Die Twice

When Malice’s dark rites beckon, aether from i’Arathael seeps into her welcoming embrace, her necromantic craft awakening the dead. The people of Solana may believe the Light will protect them, but when it leaves their eyes, it is Malice who raises their corpses to execute her bidding.

Neverest

Upon the Shadowrealm’s jagged heights stir the tarns of Neverest. This cursed domain harbors churning wells of necromantic potential, ripe for binding to Malice’s restless dead. She draws upon the Mark of Neverest to wax corpulent her reanimations, but the source of this reservoir remains a mystery, one she now holds the keys to explore.
