Having claimed the village for himself, Alistair, or rather Aeltherion, began his quest to find the remnants of the Seven Golden Knights—the ones who had been responsible for his demise. Through ancient scrolls and forbidden texts, he learned that the knights were scattered across the lands, each carrying relics that heightened their powers. But these relics were not meant for battle alone—they were instruments of control.
With the strength of his past life slowly returning, Aeltherion set out on his journey. He would seek each of the knights, force them to remember the name they had once erased. Each knight had a distinct weapon or ability granted by ancient magic. To defeat them, Aeltherion knew he must first reclaim his full power, the power that had once allowed him to fight the monsters, the power that had earned him the respect of the people who now feared his rebirth.
The first of the Seven Golden Knights that he sought was Azrak, the commander of the group. Azrak had been the one to strike the fatal blow during Aeltherion's first death. Aeltherion's rage, now more refined than ever, demanded that he confront the one who had so thoroughly obliterated him from existence.
The search was not easy. Azrak had been hiding in the sacred mountains of Irko—a place where no normal man dared enter. But Aeltherion was not a man anymore. He was something far greater.
