The fall of Vardane Kingdom marked the true beginning of Igaris Vance's storm-like campaign. As one of the sixty-six kingdoms under the vast dominion of the Skadi Empire, Vardane had been a crucial stronghold in the empire's southern region. Yet its mighty walls, ancient fortifications, and elite Champion-ranked legions crumbled before the relentless advance of Igaris's forces.
News of Vardane's defeat spread like wildfire. Whispers in the taverns and marketplaces spoke of a young warlord whose eyes burned with a mix of cold calculation and unshakable resolve, a man who commanded not just soldiers, but a tide of warriors and creatures forged in the crucible of the Martial Sanctuary. Those who had fought against him spoke of his terrifying martial skills, his use of Soul Eclipse to annihilate enemy commanders, and his ability to turn the tide of battle with but a single strike from his World Destroying Finger.
