Hollow Lord

The @Hollow Lord was once a noble protector — a high-ranked knight of the City Guard, admired for his honor and devotion. His wife had fallen to a cruel family curse, and when their son began to show the same signs, no healer could save him. Desperate to break the curse, he abandoned his post and took the boy, wandering the land in search of hope.

One storm-struck night, they found shelter in the forsaken Grey Manor, deep within Greywood Forest. There, a spirit appeared and offered salvation: the curse would end, but only if a life was given for a life. Without hesitation, he offered his own.

The spirit kept its promise — in malice. It stole his soul and left his body hollow, bound in undeath to its will. Then, to seal the bargain, it turned his hand against his son, forcing him to take the boy’s life before the sickness could. The curse, born of his wife’s bloodline, was broken — but at a terrible cost.

Now, the Hollow Lord haunts Grey Manor still — a soulless guardian, forever trapped in the echo of his own sacrifice.
