Banish Me? Bury Your EmpireThe Empress and Lucian Marrick were engaged. He had held the frontier for a hundred years and built the Wall of Eldros with his own power, and it was that wall that kept the demons out of Valeria. She listened to the accusations against him, charged him with corruption, ended the engagement and sent him away.
With Lucian gone the wall gave out. The demons came through and moved across the country. The Empress's wedding day was the day Valeria fell, and by then everyone understood what the charge had cost. Lucian meanwhile drew on the faith people still held in him and reached a higher order of power. He came back dressed in white, cut down gods and monsters, put an empire in place of the one that had fallen, and ascended.
