+          <p>&nbsp;(The Lord of Nine's influence is subtle yet inescapable. His power operates through the manipulation of agreements, contracts, and laws—each one seemingly voluntary, yet leading followers deeper into his grasp. He does not break promises; rather, he entangles them within an unbreakable web of obligations, where the path to damnation is obscured by the allure of success, power, and control. Ultimately, his followers become bound to him in ways they may never realize until it’s too late.)</p>

He does not break promises but ensures that each pact made is a binding chain that cannot be undone. Followers may believe they act with free will, but in reality, their word becomes a trap they cannot escape, leading them deeper into his influence and eventual damnation.</p>
