Summary
Loyalty only gets you so far. Bend a knee too many times to far too many, and soon, you may find yourself unable to stand back up, lifting your head to the chaos of war-- of your men scattered, your friends disemboweled. Laid apart like the shattering of glass.
In a world steeped in misery and suffering, in strife and futility, there's only one Tarnished left who can still see Grace. It's fickle, it's artificial, and it's bearer is one of strange, unnatural origin. He should not be here, his existence is but a mockery to Marika's Golden... And yet, she chose him amongst thousands. Unexplained, Tiamat forges onward, seeking a prize more precious than a meager ring.
