Immortal
The True immortals of Ealathra
Causes
There are only two known true immortals within Ealathra Malon Bagsher and Alexander Ravenshroud.
Malon Bagsher: Hero Cursed by Sacrifice
Malon wasn't a power-hungry warlock, but a desperate leader whose people faced imminent extinction. A monstrous blight gnawed at the edges of their land, a creeping darkness threatening to consume all. Driven by desperate love for his people, Malon unearthed a legendary spell, whispered in forgotten archives, promising to sever the blight's hold. But the spell, powerful beyond measure, demanded a terrible price. Its arcane incantations fractured the flow of time around Malon, anchoring him in a perpetual present while the world aged around him. He saved his people, earning their adoration and fear, but forever became a spectral monument to the cost of such heroism. Trapped in the echo of his sacrifice, Malon's war cry against the gods isn't just his own madness, but a desperate plea for release from the burden of saving them all.
Alexander Ravenshroud: Haunted by the Mist of Glumingthorne
The curse that binds Alexander doesn't stem from a botched ritual, but from the very heart of Glumingthorne's darkness. As the mist crept in, swallowing his hometown, Alexander and his family fled. Fear and desperation fueled their escape, but the mist seemed to twist around them, reaching out with invisible tendrils. His family vanished one by one, swallowed by the swirling gray, but some unseen force preserved Alexander, binding his soul to the realm. With each death, he returns, colder and more distant, the chilling touch of the mist clinging to him like a shroud. He hunts all creatures of the dark, driven by a fading hope but haunted by the chilling whispers of those lost to the Glumingthorne. His is a tragedy not of love thwarted, but of loss unyielding, where immortality feels like a prison carved from the very substance of his grief.
