Darth Vader | Overlord
My entry for this month's Character Design Challenge: Star Wars!
β Thou dost underestimate the power of the Dark Realm. β
Wounded and broken after a fiery duel atop Mount Solkara, the dragonsoul knight Anaric the Flamebound is left for dead by his former brother-in-arms, Obi-Wan the Dawnblade. Rescued by King Palpathor, a soulbinder monarch who rules the Obsidian Throne, Anaric is remade through ancient shadowforging rites into Darklord Val'Dar, clad in cursed blacksteel and bound to Palpathorβs will. Stripped of mercy and bound by vengeance, he becomes the Overlord of the Dread March, conquering fractured realms in the kingβs name. Yet deep within his scorched soul, echoes of the past stirβwhispers of light, of love once lost, and a destiny not yet sealed.
