# Nythrael, the Hollow Shade

> *“You cannot strike what was never there.”*

Nythrael is the second of the Five Forsworn and the kingdom’s forgotten executioner.

He does not overpower challengers through brute force. Instead, he vanishes, creates false reflections, and attacks from unexpected directions.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Not every Nythrael you see is real.
{% endhint %}

### The Forgotten Executioner

Nythrael once carried out the kingdom’s most secret sentences.

His name was removed from every record so completely that, when the kingdom fell, there was nothing left for death to claim.

What returned to the arena is not truly a man.

It is the empty space where one used to be.

### The Encounter

Nythrael fights like a teleporting assassin.

Expect him to:

* Disappear and reappear behind challengers.
* Blind or disorient his targets.
* Create hostile reflections of himself.
* Isolate players inside areas of darkness.
* Open unstable rifts across the arena.
* Teleport more aggressively as the fight progresses.

React to his attacks instead of blindly chasing him. Nythrael punishes players who focus on the first target they see.

### Placement Rewards

Participants are ranked by their personal damage contribution.

| Place   |  Money | Tokens | Key         | Custom Reward |
| ------- | -----: | -----: | ----------- | ------------- |
| **1st** | $4,500 |    100 | Tribute Key | Shadepiercer  |
| **2nd** | $3,000 |     70 | —           | Hollow Mirror |
| **3rd** | $2,000 |     40 | —           | —             |

{% hint style="info" %}
Damage dealt to false reflections may not contribute toward defeating the true Hollow Shade.
{% endhint %}

### Reward Identity

#### Shadepiercer

A narrow relic blade that seems to disappear when viewed from the wrong angle.

Its power reflects Nythrael’s ability to move through darkness and strike before his target can react.

#### Hollow Mirror

A fractured mirror containing an incomplete reflection of the forgotten executioner.

It may be used for Hollow Shade progression, crafting, or other arena rewards.

#### Hollow Sigil

Proof that its bearer found the real Nythrael among his countless reflections.

Sigils may be exchanged for Veilbound equipment, void materials, and boss-themed rewards.

### Mastery Quest

Nythrael has a permanent five-tier mastery path.

Mastery milestones are reached after:

* 1 victory
* 3 victories
* 7 victories
* 15 victories
* 30 victories

Higher mastery tiers reward players who consistently identify his attacks, survive his deceptions, and defeat him across repeated encounters.

Placement rewards and mastery rewards are tracked separately.

### Strategy

Nythrael rewards awareness more than aggression.

During the encounter:

* Keep track of where he last appeared.
* Avoid standing still after he vanishes.
* Do not waste time attacking every reflection.
* Watch the ground for unstable rifts.
* Stay aware of isolated teammates.
* Save mobility for his final phase.

The shape approaching you may not be the true boss. Look for behavior, movement, and attack patterns rather than appearance alone.
