It is kind of unknown what happened, since in The Legend of Sepulchure book a page is missing. The Knight formally known as Valen had saved Lynaria, but it cost him his mind, body, and soul. In a wave of unpredictable vengeance, he returned and defeated Dethrix, taking his title of Champion of Darkness and control of his armies. An ancient shadow creature of unimaginable power whispered his new name: Sepulchure. Valen became undead and gained incredible power.

When Valen accepted and donned the cursed DoomKnight armor, it grafted to his skin and fed on the goodness within him.
It is said that only an item of "Blinding Light" can truly destroy a Doom Item. Some are very powerful and very manipulative. The shadow creatures are sentient, they have names, and secret motives. When these things are cursed by shadows they become known as Doom Items. Preferably ones that are wielded with strong emotions: weapons, armor, pens, books, and so forth. Therefore, they must bind themselves to objects. Valen did not hesitate to accept the Stranger's offer.Ĭreatures from the Plane of Shadows cannot exist in Lore. The armor would consume him, but in return give him the power to defeat Dethrix, and save Lynaria. The Mysterious Stranger appeared before Valen, and offered him cursed DoomKnight armor.

Valen, the greatest swordman lost to Dethrix. He reached the lowest level, and battled Dethrix the Champion of Darkness in a final duel that would determine Lynaria's fate.

They had a private duel to determine which of them would ask for her hand in marriage. It was no secret that both Valen and Alteon had fallen deeply in love with the same woman. It was something else King Alteon took that filled Valen with jealousy. Valen was not jealous that Alteon took the throne and became king. Together the trio fought the villains of the land into an unstoppable army of the good and overthrew the evil Tyrant King. He befriended the young Alteon (known by the name Alden) and the beautiful healer Lynaria. His life was blessed with never-ending victory.

Men respected him, boys looked up to him and women adored him. He was once a great swordsman called Valen - heroic, pure of heart, and ever ready to defend the innocent and weak.
