Emerging from the pages of our Universe is the tale of Voljaryk, an embodiment of the cyclical chain of destinies. Once a warrior of unparalleled might, the turn of events witnessed his descent into paranoia, his mind shadowed by distrust. The consequences of his actions, driven by his insecurities, were profound. They did not die with him but rippled through the veins of his lineage. His son, Huggin, bore the marks of his father’s past, both mentally and physically. The loss of Huggin’s sword-bearing arm, rendering him reliant on his shield arm, wasn't merely a physical handicap. It became a potent symbol of his reign — defensive, protective, avoiding direct confrontations, and perceived as weak. Yet, it is in the mighty frame of Sjarkke, reminiscent of Voljaryk’s prime, that hope emerges. Showing the possibility of breaking free from chains binding one to generational traumas and symbolizing the potential of rewriting one's destiny.
