Beneos Tokens: Shade Tyrant
Shade Tyrant & Slaveshade: The Shadow’s Dominion
Some knights die with honor. Others forsake it. The Shade Tyrant was once a noble warrior, but after breaking their sacred oaths, they vanished into anonymity, their name erased from history. However, some of these fallen knights learned to wield the very darkness that swallowed them. These exiled warlords returned as Shade Tyrants, undead sovereigns of shadow, ruling through terror and subjugation. With an army of enslaved shadows and the power to steal the very essence of their foes, the Shade Tyrant is a relentless force of conquest and despair.
