Two months had passed since the fall of Korrath.
Two months since the Nexus Engine of New Chicago dimmed and its heartbeat severed, its master uprooted.
Two months since Clayton Hunt, the once outskirt rat turned Verdant Lord, claimed his throne not by inheritance, not by luck, but by blood, fire, and by roots.
On that fateful day, history changed.
There are not many Verdant Lords in existence despite the fact that it's been 3 centuries since the Genesis Protocols descended on Earth, corrupting the world. And there are even fewer cases of Verdant Lords dying.
Afterall, Verdant Lords are those who survived the Genesis Trials, not just the influence of Genesis Embers.
These were guys who entered the Origin World, Echoterra, faced the Old Order and somehow survived. They were the best of the best, the strongest, smartest, and most cunning warriors of humanity.
Matter of fact, it's been over a century since a Verdant Lord last died.
