Re: Ghul - Hollow and Flame

Kingdoms call themselves protectors of humanity-but when monsters rise and secrets unravel, the line between hero and villain begins to disappear. Across the continent, powerful kingdoms rule behind banners of justice and honor. From towering capitals to distant border fortresses, soldiers are praised as heroes, nobles claim to protect the people, and the crown promises order in a dangerous world. But the truth beneath those promises is far darker. Caravans vanish along forgotten roads. Villages fall silent in the night. And across the forests and wastelands of rival kingdoms, creatures once thought to be simple monsters have begun to change. Ghouls. No longer mindless beasts, these creatures mutate into horrors that defy everything scholars and soldiers thought they knew. As fear spreads, kingdoms tighten their borders and send armies into the wilds to hunt the growing threat. Commanders rise as heroes. Nobles debate behind stone walls. And wars between kingdoms begin to stir beneath fragile alliances. Yet the greatest danger may not come from the creatures stalking the darkness.Because in a world ruled by crowns and banners, the line between justice and cruelty has long since been erased. Some who claim to protect the people hide corruption behind their thrones. And somewhere beyond the reach of kingdoms and their laws, a survivor walks a path carved by betrayal-one that may one day decide whether the world is saved... or burned to ashes. In a land where monsters wear both claws and crowns, the question remains:Who are the real villains of this story?
