Dark- Stories

Un royaume au bord de l'effondrement. Des héritiers oubliés, des alliances brisées. Une guerre que personne ne veut voir venir - mais que nul n'arrêtera. Tandis que les nobles se déchirent pour un trône qu'ils ne savent plus défendre, les armées ennemies franchissent les frontières. Au sud, un stratège sans nom, l'Étoile Pourpre, renverse les forteresses une à une, laissant derrière lui des champs calcinés et des soldats pétrifiés. À l'ouest, le Kraken Vert déferle sur les ports, traînant sa flotte et sa fureur jusqu'aux portes du royaume. Dans ce chaos annoncé, un prince ignoré rassemble ses forces, une princesse captive joue un jeu dangereux, un pisteur devient politicien malgré lui... et au cœur de la tourmente, une arquebusière cherche encore sa place entre le feu et l'oubli. La paix se meurt. Et ceux qui rêvent encore d'un avenir devront le conquérir, ou périr.

« Les guerres ne sont qu'une larme d'encre souillant le parchemin de l'histoire. Impuissant, on ne peut que les observer s'abattre, et tenter de sauver ceux qui nous sont chers. » Il était une fois, dans les contrées luxuriantes et vallonnées du Warldiel, des temps semés d'incertitudes... Un jour, de sombres présages apparurent et l'équilibre précaire établi dix ans plus tôt à la suite des croisades des Monarchies Thaumaturges chancela. À l'est, les ambitions grandissantes d'un sultan belliqueux ravivèrent de vieilles tensions ; à l'ouest, la paresse, la luxure et la corruption émoussèrent la vigilance des rois et seigneurs. Et au centre de ce monde, la légendaire cité d'Arval, plaque tournante de deux cultures et symbole de la foi des Neuf-Seigneurs, s'enlisa dans la tourmente. La guerre est déjà là, clament certains, et nul n'a la bravoure de se dresser contre cette tragédie prophétisée. Pourtant, au cœur de cette valse sanguinaires des royaumes, pris dans une tempête de lames et de souffrances, deux jeunes personnes fredonnent de concert une symphonie... une symphonie vindicative, pour survivre ; la geste de Rohan et Lyrna.
