Valdros

Whispers among scholars and tales shared under starlit skies speak of Valdros, The Lost Scholar, a patron who offers power to those brave enough to confront the truths hidden in the dark. In life, Valdros was an archmage driven by an obsession to understand the boundaries between light and shadow. His pursuit led him to a forbidden ritual that transformed him into an immortal lich. Yet, unlike others of his kind, Valdros did not succumb to the cold hunger for power; instead, he awakened with a vision: redemption and the acceptance of duality within every soul.

Valdros teaches that true strength comes from embracing both the shadow and light within oneself. His followers believe that redemption and freedom lie in confronting one's deepest fears and accepting the truth of who they are. Those who forge a pact with him gain powers that blend the protection of light and the ferocity of shadow, walking the fine line between mortality and eternity.

“Only by accepting your shadow will you find true redemption.”
