The Present Day
The Second Great War Approaches
The golden age is a memory. The twin pillars of Aethro have turned toward each other, and something ancient is whispering in both courts.
The Second Great War is at hand. This is where your story begins.
— Chronicles of Kalismor
The Two Witches
They arrived unheralded: two women cloaked in the fabrics of the deep unknown, appearing before the courts of Kalismor and Kodaisdain simultaneously. No outsider should have known the secrets they spoke.
The witch in Kalis told Pryden what he already wanted to believe: Kodaisdain prepares to invade, and the Mana Stones could make him a god. The witch in Celestium told Dainar what his conscience feared most: Pryden will consume the smaller kingdoms one by one and cannot be appeased, only stopped.
The Balance Fractures
Their knowledge was intoxicating. The ancient balance fractured. Ironclad alliances rusted into bitter suspicion. Armies began to amass at the frontiers. The skies bruised into unnatural hues of violet and ash.
A single command was given. A volley of black-fletched arrows eclipsed the sun. The first blood soaked the earth.
Where the Story Begins
The coming war is not already written. The history that follows belongs to the characters who live through it, the communities they build, the loyalties they choose, and the truths they decide are worth risking everything to uncover.
