In this prequel to Pantheon, Nala’s origins are revealed. The dragonkin was born to serve. Just as her future was setting in place, the rumors of a horrendous attack come to and Nala is forced, after two Paladin schools, to take the oath. To herself, to her god, and to her fate. “Death griped us both by the necks. But we couldn’t yield to one another. Paladins of the Church of War did not relent. And even though, we knew one of us would die by the others hand, until the end, we vowed to pretend that day would never come.”

Imprisoned in the realm of Celestial beings, Haven's attempt at pleasing her father fails and his punishment changes the course of her life. After five hundred years in a catatonic state, Haven is released and kidnapped by the God of War. Not planning to let her go, he is shocked that she finds solace in his church and plans to grant her the revenge she desires. "Heaven's gates bind me to a place I want to escape. The sunlight is not my hope, it is not my peace. It's a reminder that the God of Light imprisoned me in a place that should be my sanctuary. And if I am to escape, heavens gates, I will return with the wrath of hell towing at my feet. No one will ever again rule my fate. And I will be free."
