The Cursed Child: A Naissus Legend

By Markus Vasily Vikander

Welcome to Naissus, the Realm of the Twelve Tribes.

Four hundred and eighty-five years ago, the Prophet Orion won freedom for the Twelve Tribes from the Elven Empire. But when Orion... prophet and first king of Naissus... died without an heir, the realm fractured. The duchies were born, and only the Church of Orion and its armed wing, the Hussar Order, remained as a unifying force in the North.

Hussar knight Pawel returns to the Duchy of Lublin after another grim investigation. When people fear darkness, they call for the Hussars... but he has often found that human cruelty can be just as wicked as demons or curses.

Now, a new case awaits. The Duke of Lublin has a newborn daughter... malformed, different... and fear now spreads through the court like a plague. A newly arrived priest calls the infant cursed, claiming only he can save the duchy from damnation. The Duchess believes. The Duke hesitates. And while whispers of heresy grow louder, Pawel is asked to find the truth... before faith turns to violence.

"The Cursed Child" is a dark and human tale from the world of Naissus... a story where faith and fear walk hand in hand, and where the true monsters are seldom the ones people pray against.
