Born into a kingdom surrounded by enemies, Prince Aradon was destined for war. When he ventured into the Forbidden Forest, he discovered a terrifying secret—the ability to command monstrous creatures from the shadows.

With his newfound power, he crushed his enemies and became the most feared ruler in history. Armies fell before him, kingdoms burned, and no one dared challenge his reign.

But as his legend grew, so did the darkness within him. When he met Selene Noctara, a mysterious woman with an aura as dark as his own, they ruled together as King and Queen of Shadows. Yet Selene held a secret—one that would bring about the fall of Aradon himself.

As centuries passed, his name faded into legend. But whispers remained—that one day, when his bloodline was threatened, the beasts would rise again.

Aradon the Dark

<p>In the centuries following Aradon the Dark's disappearance, his monstrous legion retreated into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. There, they entered a state of dormancy, their once fearsome presence reduced to mere whispers among the trees. Yet, even in their slumber, an unyielding bond to their master persisted, a silent vigil awaiting his return.</p>

<p>The creatures sensed the passage of time differently from mortals. Decades felt like mere moments, and while kingdoms rose and fell beyond the forest's edge, they remained steadfast in their anticipation. Legends of their existence faded into obscurity, dismissed as mere folklore by the new generations. However, the monsters knew the truth: their purpose was intertwined with Aradon's destiny, and until he called upon them once more, they would remain hidden, ever watchful.</p>
