Fifty years ago, the gods died screaming. El'daarin, the Arch Devil who refused godhood, claimed victory in a war that shattered the heavens and left the world to fester under his shadow. The Free City, once a symbol of mortal defiance, now lies in ruin-its bones twisted, its spirit broken. Life crawls on amid the rubble, stubborn and strange, echoing the old ways under the gaze of no gods. In this bleak new age, a ragtag band of adventurers stumbles upon something long forgotten: hope. Haunted by visions of a child yet to be born-a child prophesied to become the Eighth and Final god-one of their own begins to unravel a mystery older than the ruins around them. As the city stirs and long-buried powers awaken, the line between myth and destiny begins to blur. Can this unlikely fellowship protect the spark of divinity before it's snuffed out? Or will they be the last to dream in a world that has forgotten how? The Free City is not free. Not yet.
