In the grim realm of Mordikhaan, where loyalty is as fleeting as life itself, Lord Steward Santaris Sendus stands on the precipice of death. For forty-four years, he has wielded power in a land forsaken by its queen, a place where assassination is considered a merciful end for the weary. But as Santaris's grip on life weakens, the kingdom teeters on the brink of chaos. Without a clear successor, the blood-soaked succession rituals among the nobles threaten to plunge Mordikhaan into a war that could dwarf all that has come before. As assassins circle and the realm's Knight Commanders sharpen their knives, Santaris contemplates the legacy of his brutal reign. From a violent fugitive to the dread queen's enforcer, his life has been a testament to Mordikhaan's cruel laws of survival. Now, with his final breaths, he finds himself haunted by visions of a kingdom on the edge of destruction and wonders if the shadows he summoned will consume all he has built. "The Dying Days of Santaris Sendus", the prologue To A Fire in the Heart of Knowing, invites listeners into a world where power is a deadly game, and the line between saviour and tyrant is as thin as a blade's edge. Join us as we unravel the fate of a man who built an empire on blood, and the dark legacy he leaves behind.
