Before he was feared. Before he was known. Before the Pantheon awakened. In a fractured world of warring nations and ancient powers, Vael Arkan stands as a lone protector - bound not by glory, but by something deeper. Haunted by visions only he can see and marked by a power he barely understands, Vael fights to defend a city on the edge of collapse. He doesn't yet know that his presence ripples through every version of himself across the timelines. With red lightning crackling beneath his skin and faint tattoos crawling up his arms, a hidden ability begins to stir - a cursed gift known only as Red Death. As war erupts and shadows rise, Vael is pulled into a conflict far greater than his nation. He has no idea what he is becoming. And time is running out. This is the story before the legend. This is how it all began. This is Aetherfall.
