A vampire queen forsakes her duty guarding Hell's Gate when humanity's greed breaks the seal.
Serena maintained the barrier between worlds for millennia as the Vampire Queen, her sovereignty tethered to the thankless vigil at Hell's Gate. Developers razed the ward despite explicit warnings, unleashing legions of demons upon the city. Amid the panic, corrupt Lawguards seized the chaos to manufacture a false deity and grasp power. Serena responded by reclaiming the Key of Night, releasing a captive dragon, and severing the curse binding her oldest ally. She then refused to mend the breach, leaving humanity to confront the consequences of its own arrogance.
