The story behind Arcana Karthus
The Pattern is a perfect chorus, a divine harmony, one which Karthus conducts like a choir. His tenor rises alongside it, singing minor-key dirges and rousing paeans, somber elegies and soaring anthems. Death becomes life becomes death once more, and Karthus remains, ever-singing the pattern that weaves through all things.
