Prologue: In the Shadow

Ba'alzamon — aliases: Great Lord of the Dark, Heart of the Dark

The entity Ba'alzamon appears floating above the gathered council in the shadow of Shayol Ghul, wearing a blood-red robe and mask with burned hands. He commands the Dark Friends to grovel, reveals the return of the Dragon, and projects images of three young men before privately instructing each attendee on their role in the Dark One's plans.
