As queen of the Underworld, Kigal’s life has at last fallen into place. Her worship has spread, she has the respect of the heavens, and she is married to a god she loves - when she finds evidence of an atrocity.

It is a life that has left her wandering, without friend or home, but she spreads her message of justice for the deceased wherever she can. However, when targeted by those who loathe her, she narrowly escapes execution and tumbles into the Underworld.
