Rothgar, once a formidable mage, is now a shadow of his former self. Devastated by the mysterious death of his wife, Elizabeth, he clings to her old magic tome, finding solace in her handwritten notes. His muscles have withered, and his vibrant hair has turned dull, reflecting the deep sadness in his eyes. One night, his sanctuary is invaded by an assassin named Alivia, seeking the Tome of Flame. A fierce battle ensues, with Rothgar drawing on the surrounding heat to fuel his fire magic. Despite his agility and powerful spells, Alivia's poison-tipped dagger wounds him critically. As Rothgar's life fades, he finds peace in the thought of reuniting with Elizabeth, thanking Alivia for ending his suffering.
