Return of the Pumpkin King

I move as a wraith,
Away from the castle keep,
Against the weak queen.

Her guardian struck,
Sword glancing upon armor,
Countered in a breath.

Before me he fell,
Wretched minion of the queen,
No hope lay ahead.

Below dying sun,
Fluttering beneath my hands,
Vessel cannot run.

His soul becomes mine,
One to drink of my chalice,
To fight beside me.

Continue must I,
And pave the path with their blood,
Cleansing this island.

Before you I rise,
Thousands marching by my side,
Armed with fierce malice.

Upon my head lays
A burning wreath of red thorns,
My wrath is supreme.

Fallen is that queen,
The island belongs to me,
Darkened heralds cry:

I am the Pumpkin King.          

The peace that lasted across the island is no more as the Pumpkin King has betrayed the inhabitants of Rust Empires and the Pumpkin Queen. Power and greed has warped the King’s mind, and his thirst for blood is ever expanding. Through his dark arts, the Pumpkin King is raising the fallen into rage-filled beasts set to destroy anyone in their path. Once you are taken, no hope remains in freeing your spirit from his grasp. Each day, his numbers grow as his army pushes the inhabitants further from the mainland. Confident in his army laying siege to the island inhabitants, the Pumpkin King has retreated to his secret stronghold.

To counter the darkness permeating the island, the Queen rebuilt her throne and set forth a rallying cry to the Rust Empires’ citizens – there will be no surrender to the tyranny and warmongering of the traitor King. Despite the dangers awaiting them, the Queen’s faithful followers are determined to unearth the location of the traitor King’s stronghold. Once the location is known, the King must be held accountable for his betrayal.

It falls upon you to become a champion for your Queen as you take back the isle and slay the Pumpkin King.
