An immortal queen abandons her post after mortals destroy the barrier she protected for ages.
Serena held Hell's Gate shut for thousands of years, the sole barrier against the demon realm. Developers dismissed her warnings and razed the ward, unleashing horrors on the city. Corrupt Lawguards seized the chaos to engineer a controllable deity. Rather than mend a breach she never caused, Serena retrieved the Key of Night, released a captive dragon, and severed the curse binding her closest friend, withdrawing her protection entirely.
