Description

Pre-sale items ship separately and incur a separate shipping charge when ordered with other pre-sale or in-stock items.

Kingdoms fall. The dead are buried. New walls are erected and the world carries the scars of it all. But there are a people who refuse to let what falls pass into silence. They believe every ancestor carries a burden, every grave holds a witness, and every name forgotten feeds that slow hunger of Oblivion. They walk the burial grounds and battlefields, crossing faded borders on long-lost maps. They recite the names of the dead and tend their bones, seeking counsel from those who have gone before. Strahl Naledi was born into this ancient tradition.
As a young scholar, Strahl uncovered a nameless city whose towers still pierced the sky. Its people had not merely died; every inscription had been stripped of meaning. They had been erased. Standing among those silent monuments, Strahl swore that no people would suffer such a fate again.
Scattered bones were collected in unremembered tombs. Broken names were reclaimed as taboo rites were practiced – then mastered. Now, where he walks, the dead rise. Not as slaves but witnesses bound by memory, blood, and oath. Ancient kings command once more. Fallen warriors answer the call of forgotten banners. The murdered reveal truths of their killers. Yet not all who answer remain whole. The dead can be hollow and ravenous.
Strahl Naledi is the Dread Star. Villages bar their gates at his approach. Tyrants burn their records before he arrives. They call him a necromancer, and they are right. For when the living abandon the past, Strahl Naledi summons the dead to reclaim it.
