Lothar the Black - Knight of the Dusk

Where light brings clarity, Lothar walks in shadow. A knight not of banners or glory, but of secrecy and silence. From the moment he swore his Oath of the Veil, his name was forgotten, his past erased. To his comrades in the Draksborne army, he is but another knight in their ranks, a grim figure clad in dusk-stained plate. They march forward in battle, fighting for vengeance against Baldur’s treachery, but Lothar’s war is waged beneath the surface. As Grimhelm burns and blood spills in the streets, he moves unseen beneath the Lion’s Den Citadel, threading through the labyrinth of catacombs and ancient vaults that lie beneath its stones. What he seeks is known only to his patron: a higher order that sees Grimhelm as more than just a military prize. Secrets older than the kingdom itself are buried in the depths, and if Lothar’s mission succeeds, their revelation may change the course of the war, or doom both sides to something far worse than steel and fire. For Lothar, there is no honor in battle, no victory in conquest. Only the oath remains. And in the end, he will either walk out of Grimhelm with the truth in his grasp, or he will be buried with it in the city’s ruins.
