[The Forgotten History of Zahryssar]
In the empire of Zahryssar, silver hair was never considered ordinary.
It was believed that when a child bearing silver hair was born from the mother of the empire herself, it meant Lord Urzan had placed his divine blessing upon the throne.
Such children were called Heaven-Touched Serpents. Feared, worshipped, and destined to rule.
And centuries ago during the reign of Malik Vaelzareth, such a child was born, but the story of Zahryssar's tragedy did not begin with war. It began with love.
Before Malik Vaelzareth married the future Mother of the Empire, before politics poisoned the throne, the emperor had already loved another serpent.
A serpent with no noble blood, no powerful house, no royal title, only beauty and the emperor's affection.
