A collection of brief tales from a world not of our own! It is a world torn apart by the great Seam, and from this fissure emanates the lumen, an omnipresent web of magic, giving life as well as taking it. But also from the seam emerges certain... abominations that threaten the two great confederations that dominate the western hemisphere. It's only within the past few years that humans have learned to utilize the lumen for energy and as a weapon. As the dust settles after the last war, each side must pick up the pieces left behind. It won't be that easy to rebuild, and the blood wiped away only reveals more scars. Nations from all across this side of the globe-- from the grand mountain ranges of Miruna to the hulking glaciers of the Northern Alliance-- have joined the confederation of Elyusiin, bringing peace to all! However, despite the events of recent years, many are still apathetic to current injustices. ...But we don't talk about that.
