Freya: The Weight of the Divine. In the stillness of the Void, judgment nears its end—but endings are rarely what they seem. The Book trembles, the scales waver, and revelations long buried begin to surface. When the final light fades, only one truth will remain: not all who stand in judgment are the ones being judged.

Bakumba: The Cradle of Pain. The Night Beast’s legend reaches its darkest hour. As the crows gather and the strange fruit sways, Bakumba’s war between vengeance and justice burns hotter than ever.
