Moltarus Awakens

This painting commemorates the cataclysmic arrival of Moltarus during the infamous Emberfall event.

It began when a blinding meteor tore across the sky, trailing fire and fury. What many believed to be a falling star struck near Mount Olkepth, triggering violent tremors and a wave of molten shockwaves. But it wasn’t just rock that fell, it was Moltarus, an ancient colossus of living flame and brimstone, sealed within the meteor itself.

The impact site became a crater of chaos as the monstrous form emerged from the shattered core, its body crackling with heat older than the world itself. Entire hills melted in his wake. Some claim he is a weapon cast from the stars by forgotten gods, others believe he is the judgment of a realm beyond understanding.

Those who reached Level 2 or higher in the Valor Expedition bore witness to this terror, standing firm as the skies bled fire. This painting captures that defining moment: a lone adventurer gazing upon the scorched horizon as Moltarus rises from the wreckage, the world forever changed.

More than a memory, this painting is a tribute to those who stared into the heart of Emberfall, and survived.
