00:00In the twilight of the 6th era, the world of Valora fell under the shadow of the Night Queens, a sisterhood of Amazon sorceresses who rose from the ashes of ancient war.
00:11With charms drawn from forgotten gods and rituals powered by stolen life, they seized the thrones of kingdoms and forged an empire of eternal dusk.
00:21Clad in breastplates forged from the dark metal nocturnite, the Night Queens were impervious to blade, arrow, and flame.
00:31Their armor hammered black-blue like a starless sky and wrapped their hearts in magic no mortal weapon could pierce.
00:38From high towers crowned in obsidian, they ruled over cities of silence and ash.
00:43Men, once kings, warriors, and scholars, were bound in chains.
00:49Their strength and essence harvested in sacrificial rites.
00:53Each full moon, the blood chalices brinked with crimson offerings, renewing the Night Queens' youth and power.
01:01The sacrificed souls were forever trapped inside the chests of Night Queens for an eternal suffering.
01:07The land whispered with fear.
01:09Parents worked for sons who never returned from the harvest halls.
01:13But the world does not forget injustice.
01:15In the lowlands of Andros, the hidden order rose, the flame-born, keepers of a prophecy old as the stars.
01:24Among them was a former bondman, Hale, whose brother had been bled dry beneath the moon on.
01:31Marked by grief and guided by visions, Hale found an ancient blade buried beneath the ruins of the first temple.
01:38Soulheart, the divine sword, said to shine with the breath of the dawn god.
01:44The sword was forged not of steel, but of sunlight made solid.
01:48The only force that could pierce Nocturnite and the cursed hearts are protected.
01:53With Soulheart in hand, Hale united the scattered remnants of free men, who had suffered under the Night Queens' yoke.
02:01Together, they marched on the Black Citadel as the eclipse rose, the only time when the Amazon Sorceress' magic flickered, ever so slightly.
02:12The battle was brutal.
02:14Thousands perished under dark sorcery and steel.
02:17But Kale attacked her sorceresses from behind one by one.
02:22Using Soulheart, he pierced their armor and chests.
02:25Like a magnet, Soulheart drew out the shackled souls with their blood from their massive, proud chests and stored them within itself.
02:34One by one, beautiful but evil sorceresses fell like trees, as their life force, together with the life force of sacrificed men, was eaten by Soulheart.
02:45The sword became stronger with each kill.
02:48Finally, he reached the throne of the High Queen, Seraphine, whose eyes burned with centuries of stolen lives.
02:56Her laughter froze blood.
02:58Her words turned other blades to ash.
03:01With thousands of souls trapped inside her chest, there was no other weapon that could kill her.
03:07But Soulheart did not bend.
03:09As her talons clashed with the Sword of the Sun, Kale called upon the memory of every soul lost to her hunger, and now trapped inside her chest.
03:18He and his followers fought her with all might, but one by one, his followers fell.
03:24Seraphine locked their souls inside her massive chest.
03:27Those poor souls struggled, pushed and shoved from within, but there was no way to burst free from within her impenetrable chest.
03:37Finally, Kale got a chance to get behind her while his last two followers were fighting Seraphine.
03:43When he drove Soulheart through the breastplate and into her heart, the sky slipped, and a million trapped souls started escaping from her chest to the sword.
03:52Seraphine struggled, but Kale and his two followers did not show any mercy to the evil queen, and allowed the blade to drink all the souls trapped inside, and the last drop of her blood with her.
04:04For the first time in a thousand years, the sun rose over Baelor.
04:10The Night Queen's power shattered with Seraphine's fall.
04:14Without her, the magic binding their hearts unraveled, and the rest fell like towers of sand.
04:20The enslaved were free.
04:23The dark altars were burned.
04:25The Age of Dusk came.
04:27But Kale, marked by light and loss, returned the sword to the altar of the temple, which freed all the trapped souls forever.
04:36Kale was not there for glory but for justice.
04:39Vanished into legend.
04:40So the world learned, power drawn from blood and fear may rise high, but no darkness can hold the sky forever.
