For a moment, there was silence.
Not the silence of peace—but the hush that comes before a world screams.
The Divine Skies of Elira cracked open. The laws that once defined death and memory fractured. And in that unnatural stillness… the dead began to breathe again.

Forgotten. Erased. Purged by the divine order. NPCs whose worlds had been reset. Rebels who dared challenge fate. Old gods who refused the shackles of the Celestial Court.
All of them answered Darius's call.

"Rise," he whispered.
And they did.
