New Hero Teaser: High Cleric Aureus

Here is a sneak peek at an upcoming hero, planned for release very soon! Just a reminder: this hero is in early development, so the skills can still change. More news coming soon!

 

High Cleric Aureus, originally the revered leader of a religious cult, became driven by greed for godlike power. He sent followers to find scriptures, leading them to an ancient grimoire that demanded sacrifices for power. Aureus convinced hundreds of followers to sacrifice themselves with the promise of paradise. After years of waiting in vain for the power, he died miserably from a herpes infection, and his cult dissolved. Much later, an adventurer discovered his crypt and, by lighting his vessel of myrrh, inadvertently awakened his cursed remains, causing him to rise more powerful than before.
