- Fendarious - The monster form
The REVEAL: All three are the SAME BEING in different forms.
Key Mysteries: How does transformation between forms work? Which is the original form? Why three forms? Do all exist simultaneously or sequentially?

⚔️ The Obsidian Cabal & Relana
The Mystery:
The Obsidian Cabal will NOT engage Relana under any circumstances. This unspoken truce is absolute.
Question: Why? Respect for her power? Hidden alliance? Ancient debt?
🗡️ Angelo's True Loyalties
Claims: Loyalty to Redkin (his son)
Reality: "Your loyalty is to Talveran, NOT to your son" - Roku
