Lord Tarek Voss – The Shadow of the Protector

Once, Lord Tarek Voss was the king’s shield, an elite paladin whose loyalty to the throne was matched only by his unshakable faith. His axe, blessed by the ancestral priests, had cut down hundreds of enemies to defend the underground kingdom of Turil, nestled deep within the mountains. But no matter how bright the light shines, it always casts deep shadows...

On a fateful night, a conspiracy unfolded within the heart of the citadel. Treason, the halls whispered. An assassin, swift and cunning as a viper, had slipped into the royal chambers. Tarek, true to his oath, stood in the way. The battle was swift, brutal. His weapon cut through the air... and struck the wrong man.

In the darkness, under the pale glow of crystals embedded in the cavernous ceiling, a body lay at his feet. The crown prince. Dead. His blood still warm on the paladin’s sacred steel.

Cries of horror rang through the halls. The guards rushed in. The assassin, lurking in the shadows, vanished without a trace. All they saw was Tarek Voss, standing over the lifeless heir, his axe drenched in royal blood.

Judgment was swift. Exile. Stripped of his title. His name erased from the annals of Turil.

But disgrace was not enough to break him. Wandering the depths, he found refuge in the darkness he had once despised. The whispers of forgotten gods reached him, offering new strength, a new purpose. A black fire burned within him, fueled by the injustice he had suffered.

Now, Tarek Voss is no longer a protector. He is vengeance. And when the day comes that the truth is revealed, the kingdom will remember the name it tried to erase... but by then, it will be far too late to beg for mercy.
