Twelve Prime NPCs. Each a legendary unit, chosen not by rarity, but by lore alignment, influence, and bonded purpose. They were the closest thing Liberty Online had to mythic companions—beings meant to stand beside a player like Ashen who was rewriting the very rules of the world.
A throne circle glowed around a mana-infused table. Ancient vines crawled across the ceiling like silent witnesses.
