The ancient enemy of Valekor returns beneath an eclipse, his eyes burning red through the darkness.

It was forged from conquered wills, sealed in shadow, and claimed by force. The ruler who wore it became known only as the Shadow King.
He built his dominion where the world had been abandoned. Towers of black stone rose from fields of ash, and every road led toward a throne that consumed hope. His kingdom did not ask for loyalty. It demanded surrender.
The Shadow King did not march alone. From the void he raised a legion without names, banners, or mercy. They served no god and carried no dream of glory. Their purpose was simple: extinguish every flame that might guide Valekor toward freedom.
When the guardians of Valekor gathered around the Eternal Flame, war became unavoidable. The skies burned above the old kingdoms. Temples fell, armies vanished, and the world learned that light could be wounded even when it could not be destroyed.
At the height of his power, betrayal opened the path to his defeat. The Shadow King was sealed beyond the borders of the living world. His throne shattered, his crown disappeared, and his name was forbidden. Yet shadows do not die. They wait.
Centuries later, whispers began moving through ruined halls and forgotten dreams. Kings heard promises of power. Warriors saw red eyes watching from the dark. Each whisper carried the same message: the first crown still remembers its master.
The prophecy does not speak of his return alone. It speaks of a world divided, of guardians weakened, and of the Eternal Flame forced to reveal its final secret. The Shadow King will rise when Valekor believes the darkness has already been defeated.
He does not return seeking revenge. He returns to reclaim what he believes was always his: the throne, the crown, and the destiny of Valekor. When his red eyes open beneath the eclipse, the age of shadows begins again.
