Card Information
"Hollowed Grounds" is a DARK Warrior theme set in a kingdom devastated by a deadly miasma.
The king was reduced to a corpse and few of the nation's people have survived
Overall they can be divided into two factions vying for the fate of the Kingdom: "The whose aim to revive the Kingdom" and "Those that worship the Blightblaze".
Doomed by the Blackblight
T/L Note: Perhaps Doomed by the Hollowblight?
This is the body of the Kingdom's former king who was ravaged by the effects of the Blightblaze.
While his necklace has suppressed the full effects of the corruption, his former beauty has been lost
There is a chance at reviving the king if one manages to get their hands on sacred relics
But the other possibility is he's completely consumed by the Blightblaze.
There are those known as "The Hollowed Grounds" who wish to purge the Kingdom of the Blightblaze, who are the "Kingdom Revival Faction".
Their goal is the resurrection of the only person of capable of purging the miasma: "Zeil the King of the Hollowed Grounds"
Zeil's resurrection requires sacred relics that have the power to return him from his current state as a doomed corpse.

Zeil the King of the Hollowed Grounds
"Zeil the King of the Hollowed Grounds" is the true form of "Doomed by the Blackblight" after being revived by the power of the holy relics.
He possesses mysterious divine power capable of purging the Blightblaze.
"The Hollowed Grounds" are those with the goal of ensuring the kingdom's restoration by reviving the king.
The Blightblaze Believers
However there exists those who worship the Blightblaze itself, and these people seek to stop the king's resurrection.
Most touched by the Blightblaze have their bodies and minds corrupted, their bodies being horrifically twisted as they lose all sense and reason
But a scant few have adapted to it and managed to obtain its power as their own.
These "Blightblaze Believers" conspire to prevent Zeil's resurrection and aim to turn his "Doomed" corpse into "The Left Behind".
The Sinner of the Blightblaze
The "Sinner of the Blightblaze" was a prisoner formerly held in the kingdom's dungeon.
It seems he escaped from his gaol after adapting to the Blightblaze and gaining its power.
"Worshiper of the Blightblaze" is a young girl named "Lena" who was once afflicted by an incurable disease.
Having adapted to the Blightblaze, she overcame her illness and now believes this was a divine blessing.
She serves a special soup to convey the miracles of the Blightblaze.
