Salem spent his first years of apprenticeship under a powerful Black Mage called Yotünn. Through intense devotion to his studies, he quickly mastered the art of soul manipulation and death magic. After learning all that he could from his mentor, Salem struck out on his own, seeking to develop his powers to even greater heights.
He eventually achieved mastery over a rare and powerful subset of death magic known as Necrosalia—the ability to drain the life energy from living creatures and use it to manipulate matter and corrupt the soul.
Salem perfected his mastery over Necrosalia through years of study and practice. He used his powers to inflict torment and suffering on countless victims, corrupting their souls with negative energy and driving them to insanity.
The House of Divinity was wary after learning of Salem's devotion to Necrosalia, the ancient Arcana of death magic. They had seen it as a threat to their power and influence and had decided to act preemptively, aiming to do away with the young man and his beloved. In the eyes of the Holy Order, Salem and his love were heretics, and were to be treated as such. They saw no room for mercy when it came to blasphemous wretches, only punishment and judgement, and they would stop at nothing to make sure that such individuals could no longer disrupt their authority.
Foolishly, they targeted the woman first.
Aiesha... Lady of Light.
The only one who had the influence to change Salem's ways and convert him to the peace of radiance.
Ambushed, captured, and tormented until her inevitable end....by the very souls she tried to save.

Hell was unleashed upon the West Hemisphere, a surge of spite and hatred turning the once glorious capital of Nalexandria into a necrotic wasteland…
