Velvet the Decayed Monarch

Lore
Velvet was once a kind and gentle king. While out on an expedition with his troops, he came to a land which he learned would offer an amazing view of the solar eclipse that was soon to occur. He and his soldiers set out to enjoy the rare phenomenon. But when his eyes saw that black circle in the sky, he felt a strange sensation stir within him. His body began to move with a will of its own. Before he knew it, he had unsheathed his sword and slain the soldier beside him. His men gazed at their monarch in horror. Gone was the kindly king, replaced by a malevolent demon bent on their destruction.
