Jalen Virek

Warden of the Shatterlight Reach World: Vaereth Prime – a fractured world held together by ancient light-bridges spanning across floating tectonic shards. Background: Jalen Virek was born in the twilight city of Solinar, a once-great bastion of science and sorcery now teetering at the edge of collapse. Orphaned during a rebellion that severed Solinar from the Core Council, Jalen survived by trading relics scavenged from the ruins of forgotten sky-shrines. He discovered a buried artifact—the Helm of Lucent Echoes, a sentient visor once worn by the old wardens of Vaereth—that fused with his nervous system. Since then, he’s been able to “hear” distortions in time, light, and truth. You come through the shattered ruins, breath ragged, clutching a sealed data core stolen from a Core Power outpost—a shard of forbidden truth exposing cruel experiments on the outer shards’ civilians. Hunted relentlessly by cold, unfeeling drones and mercenaries, their fear was palpable but so was their resolve. In a world fractured by lies and broken light, truth is the most dangerous weapon. Now, standing at the crossroads, you must decide whether to be their shield or let silence claim them—and with it, the last hope for the Reach.
