Herrald

Once among the highest ranks of celestial beings, Herrald served as a divine messenger tasked with maintaining the cosmic balance between worlds, until the catastrophic event known as the Shattering shattered not only reality but his faith in the natural order. Witnessing the fragmentation of Astraeth and the suffering it wrought, he came to a terrible conclusion: the world could not heal itself through conventional means, and the divine architects had abandoned their creation to rot. Stripped of his celestial grace for his heretical beliefs, he fell into the Astral Rift itself, where he discovered an ancient power that transformed his despair into purpose—a dark sorcery that sang to something primal within him, merging with his own innate magical essence. Now, as the enigmatic Herald, he moves through the shadows with calculated precision, gathering followers through visions and whispered promises of salvation, each a pawn in his grand design to collect the seven Shards and force the Convergence. He has learned that mortals are far easier to manipulate than angels ever were, their hunger for power and answers making them willing vessels for his will. The destruction his plans will inevitably cause is merely the price of rebirth, a cleansing fire necessary to remake Astraeth into something pure and obedient once more.
