The drow collective leadership spent Nyxar Veyl's entire life turning him into something the world didn't have a category for. He won them their war. Broke the wood elves. Ended a conflict nobody else could finish. They handed him to his enemies as a condition of the peace treaty and blamed him for the methods they commissioned. Three weeks into a wood elf prison, the world stops. A multiverse integration sweeps his planet and pulls him — along with hundreds of others — into something none of them asked for. An arena. A hub full of strangers from a world that was just at war with itself. And somewhere back home, the people who built him and sold him are watching his results come in. The wood elves who caged him are his co-representatives now. Neither side is going to enjoy what comes next. He's not particularly bothered either way. He has a list. Vael'thyrak: The Delegates is a dark fantasy arena story about a man built entirely as someone else's weapon learning — slowly, without ever announcing it — what it means to exist for himself.
