Cult of Personality

Suddenly, Morrigan Morningstar, the High Priestess of the Cult of the Darkborne, dropped a startling revelation on Kahn.

As the Hero of Darkness, he wasn't merely a symbol of their cause... he was the official Cult Leader of the Cult of the Darkborne.

"I am the what now?!" Kahn exclaimed, his voice laced with shock and disbelief.

"That's how it is done in the Abyss Empire." Argos interjected, his smile reflecting a blend of amusement and understanding. 

"Unlike in other empires, where the chosen Hero or Heroine serves as a mere representative or figurehead, the Hero of Darkness is, by default, the Cult Leader." spoke Lucian in a reaffirming tone.

Morrigan nodded in agreement, her expression serene yet serious. 

"Yes, my lord. Every Hero of Darkness who came before you held this same esteemed position."

Kahn took a moment to absorb this new information, his mind racing with the implications of such a responsibility.
