Kagen the Damned

Kagen the Damned follows the story of Kagen Vale, the trusted and feared captain of the palace guard, specifically charged with protecting the royal children of Gessleyn, the 89th queen of the unbroken line of the Silver Lands. One fateful night, while Kagen is drugged by a woman in a tavern, the Silver Lands are overrun, and the entire royal family is killed and burned as a sacrifice to the dark gods of the immortal Witch-King. The once-thriving kingdom is left in ruins, and its people are enslaved.

Haunted and broken, Kagen becomes a wanderer, taking on odd jobs and seeking revenge against his enemies. He eventually hears a rumour that the royal twins might still be alive, potentially being raised for dark sacrificial purposes. Determined to fulfil his oath, Kagen sets out on a mission to find the royal children, protect them, and train them to lead a campaign to reclaim the throne. His quest takes him to strange lands where he confronts the supernatural in its many bizarre and terrifying aspects.
