More than three hundred years ago, the once-mighty human-dwarven alliance of Ostrovia was destroyed during a brutal series of wars and political malfeasances, known as the Withering Wars.
The Orc tribes, united by chaos and bloodshed, ultimately descended from the mountains and became the new rulers of the land - leaving humanity on the brink of extinction.
In the last days of the fall, a band of desperate survivors set sail on a bold expedition across the perilous, uncharted Vesperian Sea. Against all odds, they crashed upon the shores of Avaloria - A realm steeped in ancient magic and guarded by a living forests teaming with dangerous enemies, and undiscovered wonder.
Now, mere centuries later, under the steadfast leadership of King Aldros Valtir, the descendants of that fateful journey labor to rebuild civilization on the edge of the new world.
For Aldros, each sunrise is a reminder of the heavy burden he bears - preserving the fragile beacon of hope amid a land where the echoes of a shattered past still haunt every shadow.
At the edge of the wild frontier, young Aelar Varos has grown up in Harrow's End - a modest village, clinging to the untamed forests of Avaloria. When Aelar stumbles upon something impossible deep within the ancient forest, he unwittingly attracts the attention something more powerful than he can fathom, setting his destiny on an uncertain course.
Cedric Valtir, eldest son of the King, is loved by his men and women in equal measure. In the bustling heart of Valoria, where the lively corridors of The Silver Stag echo with hope and revelry, Cedric bridges his regal past with the promise of a new future. With his effortless grace, keen intellect, and warm humor, he inspires his people as he listens to their dreams and fears, even as whispers of impending threats swirl around him. But what will fate have in mind for him when he leaves the walls of the city that defines him and his people?
