While peace bloomed in embassies, vengeance festered underground.
A secret faction calling themselves The Fallen Flame formed from the ruins of the Silent Ember. Not rulers — but former soldiers, widows, and magicians broken by the Thunder Revolution.
Their leader was masked and nameless.
Only two things were known:
They once served under Caranor's elite mage legion.
They held a prototype shard — stolen from the second Ashvara test site.
Their goal? Not war.But humiliation.
They wanted Sharath brought to his knees — not as a king, but as a man.
As Sharath addressed students at the newly rebuilt Academy of the Rune Sciences, a blast interrupted his speech. Not fatal — symbolic. It shattered the lectern and carved the phrase in burning letters across the courtyard wall:
"KNOW WHAT YOU UNLEASHED."
Navaleon's dream had survived war.
Now, it would have to survive ideology.
