The monarch of the cursed warriors, the Deathless Sovereign himself, was bound to the Death Tree's colossal trunk, wrapped in countless chains. His struggles were the most furious, the chains snapping and shattering as more and more of them were manifested from the deep darkness at the roots of the Soul Devourer to replace them.
