Riklauniman Adrin'eth, the Shadow Warden
Next we are going to tell you a story about "Riklauniman", a a new card much more extensive story about this great Splinterlands.
Riklauniman Adrin'eth was always an archer without equal. Since his youth, his keen eyesight and unerring accuracy had made him renowned in Lyveria, where he defended the kingdom's borders and trained young aspirants in the art of the bow. But his mastery went beyond marksmanship; Riklauniman understood nature, knew every corner of the forest like the back of his hand, and moved through the shadows like a creature of the night. His presence was imperceptible to those who could not see beyond the surface, and his skills with the bow earned him the nickname "The Shadow Warden" among his comrades.
When news of the invasion of the Chaos legions reached Lyveria, Riklauniman did not hesitate to join the defense forces. He boarded the legendary warship Jewel of Lyveria, a majestic and ancient vessel that had defended the kingdoms of the Splinterlands in times of conflict. With him traveled some of the bravest warriors of Lyveria, as well as other allied lands. In those early moments, the spirit of the alliance was strong and optimistic; they believed they could defeat the forces of Chaos, as they had in the past.
However, reality soon revealed itself with brutality. The battle was a disaster; the fleet, despite its bravery, was torn apart by the forces of Chaos, whose waves seemed endless. Riklauniman watched as his comrades fell, one after another, and with great pain he managed to escape with his life, carrying on his shoulders the burden of having survived when so many had fallen. The Jewel of Lyveria sank below the horizon as Riklauniman, shattered, returned to Lyveria as one of the few survivors. In the kingdom, he was welcomed as a hero, but he felt only shame and a void that he could not fill.
The late King Wilhelm, recognizing his bravery, offered him a position as viceroy in one of the most prestigious regions of the kingdom. Riklauniman was grateful for the offer, but he could not accept a title while Chaos continued to ravage the lands he had pledged to protect. Thus, with a small group of elite archers, he secretly departed Lyveria, returning to Praetoria, determined to confront the invasion in his own way.
Once in Praetoria, Riklauniman changed his approach to combat. Instead of engaging directly, he began to deploy a guerrilla strategy, attacking in quick and accurate ambushes. His tactics were calculated: in the darkness of the forest or among the mountains, his arrows emerged from the shadows, silencing his enemies before they could even identify the threat. He used his knowledge of nature to guide his rangers through difficult terrain, evading Chaos patrols and striking at precisely the right moment to maximise the impact of each attack.
Chaos soldiers began to whisper of the Shadow Warden, the archer whose presence was only felt when it was too late. Riklauniman and his contingent became a living myth to the people of Praetoria, a source of hope amidst the darkness. Refugees, resistance fighters and nearby villages looked to him as a symbol of the Splinterlands' indomitable strength.
But for Riklauniman, his mission was about more than heroism. Every arrow fired, every victory in the shadows, was a tribute to his fallen comrades on the Jewel of Lyveria. He knew he could not stop Chaos alone, but he was determined to make them feel the weight of their mistake. With each battle won, he kept alive the hope that one day, the scales of war would tip in favour of the light and that the sacrifice of his comrades would not be in vain.
The war was not yet over, and he would not rest until the last shadow of Chaos was dispelled from his land. Riklauniman, the Shadow Warden, continued to lurk in the shadows, a relentless vigilante, determined to bring peace back to the Splinterlands and honour the memory of those who were no longer with him.
