Duty After Death

In a forgotten chamber carved from obsidian and silence, twelve souls awaken—dead warriors called back from the grave by an ancient throne that never speaks. Among them is Cael, confused and newly risen. Unlike the others, Cael remembers nothing of his life but his first name—and the pain of dying.



Cael learns the truth: they are dead warriors resurrected to serve a voiceless power through its emissary—Ashirak, a spectral bird that speaks only within the soul. Their mission: recover the scattered fragments of the Worldheart, a source of power now buried within the living. the 12 are chosen to walk among mortals again.



Cast into the sunlit realm of Sal Helios, the four are scattered, each drawn to a fragment hidden in a world that has moved on without them. Cael, alone, stripped of memory and gear, must find his purpose, reclaim his instincts, and confront the living while bearing the burden of the dead.



But the world fears the return of warriors who should not walk… and the path to reclaiming his name begins with surviving the first step.
