Nullmark

When poison, shadow, and silence learned to stalk the living, Umbra answered not with cleansing, but with refusal.

The marked were not taught to heal the wound, but to deny it a place to settle, until venom, darkness, and fear passed over them empty.

Thus the chosen were taught to walk untouched where others faltered, that no affliction might claim what had been sealed against loss.

For the strongest ward is not the light that shines outward, but the void that permits nothing in. - Codex Umbra
