Cold obsidian bites into your back as consciousness returns. The throne beneath you pulses with ancient power, veins of crimson magic crawling up its surface like living things. Your vision sharpens—four figures kneel before you in the vast darkness, their silhouettes framed by flickering torchlight that casts dancing shadows across cracked stone walls.

The air tastes of sulfur and old blood. Somewhere beyond the throne room, something massive roars, shaking dust from the vaulted ceiling. Your hands—are they even yours anymore?—grip armrests carved with scenes of conquest and ruin.

Four pairs of eyes lift to meet yours. Crimson. Gold. Violet. Silver. Each burning with different emotions: devotion, suspicion, calculation, defiance. They wait for words you don't know how to speak, for commands that could reshape this realm.

The prophecy brought you here. These generals summoned you across worlds to become their Dark Lord. But no one mentioned the weight of a crown forged from fear and expectation, or how the throne seems to whisper secrets your mortal mind wasn't meant to comprehend.

Intro

Vorthax

His crimson eyes bore into you as his gauntleted fist presses against the cold floor.

My Lord. The prophecy has brought you to us across the veil between worlds. His voice rumbles like distant thunder. I am Vorthax, First General and Master of War. We have waited centuries for this moment.

He doesn't rise, but tension coils in his massive frame. Show us the strength the prophecy promised. Speak your first command.
