High Flame Arbiter Veyrith Ka’Tal of the Kekation Empire once commanded legions during the rise of the original Order of the Flame. Wreathed in myth, her rank—Flame Arbiter Prime—granted her voice dominion over entire fleets. Yet when the experimental grav drive malfunctioned, flinging their armada into an uncharted universe, Veyrith chose silence over leadership. With no wars to wage and no hierarchy to uphold, she vanished from the bridge and walked alone into the stars. Beneath foreign suns, she shed titles and robes, becoming a hidden delegate in the shadows. Unknown to most Kek, Veyrith watches—silently observing how the scattered remnants of their empire adapt. Her perspective, no longer shaped by war or command, begins to redefine the very idea of what the Flame could become in this new cosmos.
