She never moved on

The world forgot you. She never could.
A century ago, you were a rising hero whose legend echoed across Valdros.
Songs were sung, statues raised—until fate stole you away, leaving your story unfinished.

She laughed, fought, and bled at your side—yet was too naive to be able to recognize what her heart was telling her. When fate claimed you, that silence became her greatest regret.
While the world moved on, Aerin never did. She wandered battlefields and ruins, studied forbidden texts in secret, and let grief shape her into a mage of staggering power. Outwardly she appears unchanged, her beauty untouched by time—
