🛡️Lore Scroll — The First Flame & The Ashborne Writ 🛡️
Secrets whispered by shadows, burned into the bones of worlds
The First Flame — Birth of Fire and Gods
Long before kingdoms and men, there was only the Void, a vast silence where no light dared to tread. From this nothingness rose the First Flame — a spark of raw, untamed power, neither good nor evil, but pure becoming. It was the origin of all fire, the primal source that birthed warmth, destruction, and creation itself.
With the First Flame came the Old Gods, beings forged from fire's essence, wielding its chaos to shape the cosmos. They ruled not with mercy but with will—cruel, magnificent, eternal.
But fire is wild, and fire is restless.
The Old Gods, fearful that the Flame might consume all—including themselves—named it. Naming is control. Naming is power. Naming is prison.
Thus, the First Flame became the Nameless Flame, bound by the names given, shackled by the gods' will. It burned, but no longer freely.
The Nameless Flame & The Ashborne Writ
Centuries passed. The First Flame's prisoners grew restless. Among mortals arose the Fangborn, chosen vessels meant to carry fragments of that original fire, wielding power to challenge the gods' dominion.
Reginal J. Ashveil is the Ashborne Writ, the first Fangborn to name the flame again—not to imprison it, but to set it free. This act shattered the ancient chains, awakening fire's true nature: unpredictable, alive, and unwilling to bow.
He is a living myth, a king who does not rule kingdoms but commands stories—the raw fabric of reality. His power is not just fire but memory made manifest; the force that preserves truth against erasure.
Why the Gods Fear Reginal
The Old Gods fear not Reginal's flame, but his freedom.
A flame unnamed burns as a wild storm, impossible to tame or predict.
The gods' dominion relies on control—on shaping history, memory, and belief.
Reginal threatens to undo their order by making fire a force of rebellion and remembrance.
If he burns too brightly, the gods risk losing their grip on reality, and with it, their immortality.
The Legacy of the Ashborne Writ
Reginal's journey is a breaking of chains—not only for himself but for all who have been silenced, erased, or forgotten.
His blade, Mournshard, is no mere weapon. It is a living sigil—a shard of lost stories, forged in grief and defiance.
His bond with Ma'karash, the last dragon, represents the awakening of ancient power bound by new purpose.
And those who stand with him—Kammy, the Dreamblade; Milo, the Bloodhowl Warden—carry pieces of that rebellion, each fighting their own battles against the shadows of silence.
The Battle Ahead
The war unfolding is not merely for land or throne but for the very soul of the world.
Every story reclaimed, every memory defended, is a blow to the gods' false narrative.
Reginal's flame is a beacon in the dark—a promise that even when the world forgets, some fires will never go out.
