ASHES OF THE WYRM GUNSLINGER'S REQUIEM ROLE: Cursed Elemental Gunslinger // STATUS: Wanderer, Hunter, Damned "The dragons are dead. Their colossal skeletons pierce the horizon like monuments to a war the world lost.

You carry a curse you never asked for—elemental fire in your blood and cosmic whispers in your skull. The Corrupted spread like plague. The gangs are tearing each other apart for scraps of the old world. And you? You're the fool caught in the middle, trying to survive long enough to understand what you've become."
