History remembers King Aldric as a tyrant who burned cities, enslaved thousands, ruled with iron cruelty. His name became synonymous with evil, whispered as a warning to misbehaving children.

What really happened to the Forgotten King? The answer will shatter everything the kingdom believes about its glorious revolution.
