In Scarlet, the Kingdom of Matar was being torn apart by a vicious war between Humans and Elves versus the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn were being led by a rebel group known as Scarlet. Korrin ruled from the capital of Luxen with his Queen Selina and their son Aurum. The Heroes (known then as The Talons of Scarlet) eventually sided with Scarlet, who were backed by the Fire God Greth, and led by the Queen herself, Selina, in secrecy. The King grew mad, or so it seemed from the outside. He began experimenting with gods and their powers, trying to imbue himself and his son with them, as his son was quite ill. Upon storming the white castle walls of Luxen, the Talons found a superpowered Korrin in his throne room, his son attached to some apparatus. The Heroes also found Selina by his side, apparently a double agent. Though Korrin had subdued two gods to fight by his side, along with his enchanted half-dark, half-light sword (an artifact from the Ebonyborn), the Talons prevailed over him and his wife. The Talons heard out Selina’s plea for her and her son to live, and let her free. They then killed Korrin for what he had done to the Kingdom. Parades were thrown in the streets of Luxen, and the reluctant then-Councilor of Falen, Thalend, was offered the crown (another relic of the Ebonyborn). This time he took it. So ended this part of the story, Scarlet.
