Heroes

Hero Compendium

The roster is built like a hall of figures, not a class list.

Each hero carries a dominion, a scar, and a different way of surviving the climb.

Starting hero, boundary-keeper, narrative fracture

The Shadow Blade

The first sword in the party and the shape cast by the throne above it.

Second hero, unstable voltage, chaos through aim

The Storm Witch

A storm given a crystal focus and just enough discipline to point it.

Mid-game wall, sustained force, civic endurance

The Iron Paladin

Less like a soldier, more like a fortification that learned to keep walking.

Late-midgame spike, probability archer, future fracture

The Death Ranger

Her arrows arrive at the moment danger becomes real, even if that moment has not happened yet.

High-midgame intellect, probability engine, identity threat

The Chaos Mage

Helpful, composed, and just uncertain enough to suggest that the Sanctum still speaks through him.

Late-game authority, accord witness, measured revelation

The Void Herald

She carries the stillness of a witness who was present when the terms were first written.

Endgame entity, transformation made local, living threshold

The Abyssal God

Not summoned from below, but assembled by the climb itself as the world kept changing shape around it.
