The Obsidian Path, United We Are

The wind howled a mournful dirge across the desolate plains, its lament reflecting the growing unease settling over the land.King Theron, whose reign was built on conquest and fear, hadbegun his systematic consolidation of power-a chilling processthat sent shivers down the spines of even the most hardenedsoldiers. His victory over the combined forces of humans, elves, and dwarves in the previous war had not brought peace, but ratheran oppressive silence- a suffocating blanket woven from dreadand subjugation.From the shadowed peaks of the Dragon's Tooth Mountains, Romulus and the Queen, their faces etched with grimdetermination, observed Theron's actions.

Yet, whispers of dissent andundercurrents of mistrust between the three races threatened tounravel their hard-won unity.
