Kael, a deity who descended to the mortal realm, served as an advisor to Queen Amara of Solvaris, bound by a solemn vow to grant forgiveness one hundred times. Swayed by the treacherous Darius, Amara grew suspicious of Kael—whose immense contributions had begun to overshadow her own—and proceeded to systematically strip him of his authority and subject him to humiliation, ultimately driving the empire’s guardian away. In Kael’s absence, the royal court collapsed, natural disasters ravaged the land, and enemy armies laid siege to the capital; meanwhile, Darius’s treasonous collusion with the invaders brought the empire to the brink of total destruction. To protect the populace, Kael returned to the battlefield, leading a meager force of a few thousand against the overwhelming enemy host. He fought to his final breath, sacrificing his life for the realm—leaving Amara to face an end defined only by endless, agonizing remorse.
