It was a curse鈥攁 desperate plea spat towards the rotting corpse at his feet.It was whispered to the silence, only told to the dead.But silence can be broken...And all calls can be answered.Because somewhere deep in the dark, something heard.Something stirred.Magic pulsed and an ancient god awakened.Now, Solvyrn walks again鈥攂ut not as a man. Not alive. Not dead. Something in-between. Something unravelling. Something... unholy. And under his skin, a voice coils through his bones.There is only one command:To find the forgotten God's name.To speak it aloud.To unleash him back to the land of the living.Only then will Solvyrn be free. Only then will he be whole.But Solvyrn quickly discovers that every day demands its pound of flesh, and the world does not yield to the will of the forsaken.
