Discover how Erlik’s tangled origins and rivalry with his divine brother gave birth to mortality, and meet the nine sinister sons who serve as agents of chaos. From soul bargains and shamanic rites to the fine line between damnation and redemption, unravel the myths that made Erlik both feared and indispensable.
