NATIONS WAR. GODS ARE ROUSED FROM THEIR SLUMBER. THE AWAKENING HAS BEGUN. IN THE EAST, the Dominion's grip tightens, ensnaring all in its tyrannical rule. The once-vibrant souls of magic wielders wither away, leaving them mere echoes of their former selves. IN THE WEST, Taanio Talli abandoned his homeland in his youth, embarking on a thrilling odyssey across the Peralian Sea. Yet, this life of adventure and glory left him yearning for something that had always been missing, and he left the high seas behind for a quiet life on a humble farm in the Western Isles. When an unexpected visitor disrupts his tranquil seclusion, Taanio is thrust back into his dual existence, reconciling the two divergent halves of his fractured identity. Alongside his loyal crew, he discovers a truth that shatters the very foundation of their understanding-the imminent arrival of the Awakening. FAR TO THE SOUTH, concealed by the enigmatic forest, lies a clandestine city. Unbeknownst to its inhabitants, a potent and ancient power ripples beneath the surface, coveted by unseen forces. As the stakes escalate and hidden agendas clash, the people of this mystical haven find themselves unwilling pawns in a vengeful game of power. TIME-WORN TRUTHS UNRAVEL. ANCIENT POWERS COLLIDE.
