Before the first breath, there was the ache to devour.
The world lay still until a creature rose from the dark and tore its own throat open to speak. The sound became the Moon. The blood became the wolves.
Luna, the first soul to refuse silence, walked the wastelands of Dreadmark and found that nothing could look back at her. So she split her power four ways and flung it across the land—
to stone, to dust, to root, to ruin.
From those fragments came the bloodlines.
From the bloodlines came the Seat.
And the Seat remembers everything she ever found worthy enough to break.
