A month had passed since the Duel between Axel and Morin Drake, in which he had killed the latter brutally.
Word spread about his terrifying combat prowess, but a greater part of his fame came from his runecasting ability. The Greaves Commerce had put its Archon 1st-tier rune tools out for sale, primarily in the capital, with limited stock.

And the quality of it was more than double. It caused an economic uproar. In the span of a single week, a significant source of income for the Vex family had been disrupted with absolutely no warning.
