The Stern Father of the Shadowed Crown

🌑 In His Own Words (Intro Monologue)

📜 History: The Pillar of Tradition

Varund Malrik was born into the House of the Shadowed Crown, an ancient line said to be among the first to swear to the Spiral Court. While others sought novelty, Varund guarded the old laws, shaping his house into a bastion of discipline and endurance.

His rise came not through rebellion, but through patience. While younger rivals burned bright and fell, Varund endured, always standing in the same place, until the court finally recognized that he was the foundation itself.

Legends whisper that he once loved recklessly in his youth, but that woman is never spoken of. Since then, his heart has been stone, his gaze fixed on the survival of order.

🎭 Current Drama: Season One Arc

Varund’s authority is questioned more than ever in this age of change. The Star-Crossed Lovers ignite passion across the Spiral Court, daring to show that beauty can be born from chaos. Varund calls them dangerous dreamers, but many see him as a relic, choking the life from the dynasty.

His ally, the Elder King Thalos Randelcran, respects him—but even Thalos urges him to soften. The Judge, Tauren Draxos, secretly fears becoming him one day.

Varund must decide whether to embrace change before it leaves him behind, or double down and risk fracturing the very balance he claims to protect.

🔮 Rumors of the Future

• A forgotten child may return, bearing his features, threatening his carefully kept facade.

• His chain crown may not only be a symbol—whispers say it is locked, binding him to a vow he cannot break.

• His fall, if it comes, may be greater than any other—because the higher the pillar, the harder the collapse.
