Revenge is a dish best not served.
Ruirech finds the remains of his mother, mutilated and hanging from a cross before the ashes of what used to be Forest Haven’s hostel. The Moon Goddess had warned him what he would find but he’d refused to believe her.

Despite the warnings from a renowned seeress, he goes on seeking a vengeance that is best not served.
