Official description
Once, these puppet strings danced at the Herald's fingertips, manipulating the lives of countless souls across the Wulin. Now, only a single strand remains, not yet consumed by the Blight.
The moment the Lady's Blight engulfed him, he tasted that long-forgotten agony once more: searing pain piercing deep into his consciousness, boundless cold, and delirious voices howling endlessly through his mind... What sustained him through it all was the Lady's voice, her loving gaze...
Now, at last, he has fallen into her supreme tenderness. Or perhaps he never escaped that prison of illusion at all.
