Aetherion was never meant to change the world only to uphold it. As a scion of the Dragon Clan, his life was one of discipline, firebound rituals, and the unshakable weight of duty. Bound by generations of tradition and sharpened by years of training, he knew the path laid before him. Or so he thought. But ancient forces have begun to stir. Whispers echo through the old stones. The magic that once answered with grace now moves with unrest. As shadows creep beyond the borders of understanding, Aetherion is thrust into a journey he never asked for one where certainty crumbles, allies arrive in the unlikeliest of forms, and the very essence of what he believes must be challenged. In a world shaped by power and bound by purpose, one choice can set the flames of change or destruction into motion. And when tradition begins to fracture, only one question remains: will you stand in the ashes, or rise from them?

In the years of a new age, two suns rose upon the world. In the fertile Dawnlands of Altheris, Lydus Auren forges the Solaris Dominion from warring clans, binding them beneath his banner: "From Many, One Sun." With his wife Cerya's cunning diplomacy, his restless heir Kaelen, and his curious daughter Selara, Lydus seeks to turn scattered tribes into a nation that will endure. Across the deserts of Kemetra, the warlord Berthold Marras unites the scattered tribes by conquest, declaring the birth of the Kingdom of Zeridia under his fearsome creed: "The Sands Shall Obey." Guided by his pragmatic wife Teyra, his warrior son Dorin, and his scholarly son Aren, he dreams of stretching his realm across rivers, oases, and seas. Neither realm knows of the other. Yet storms of war, rebellion, and nature itself gather on the horizon. The Dawn of Nations has begun - and with it, the first sparks of an age that will shape empires, topple kings, and rewrite the destiny of the world. The Dawn of Nations is the opening chronicle of the First Age - an epic saga of ambition, family, and the clash of civilizations.

The kingdom of Palandas stands on the edge of collapse. Wells are poisoned, fortresses are starved, and rebellion festers in the shadows. At the heart of the unrest, the cunning senator Ka'id Darun plots to tear the realm apart from within, turning bread, water, and whispers into weapons of war. In the marble halls of Sabara, loyalty is no less fragile. Noble houses scheme, courtiers trade secrets like coin, and even the Sovereign's council trembles with division. Into this storm steps Prince Songen dar Ezkander-son of King Zaccarias and Queen An'Nai, now first in line to the throne. Named Warden of the Flame, he is charged with defending a kingdom not yet his to rule. But Songen bears more than duty: the scar of the Veil Knife and the forbidden legacy of al-Nafas, a power as ancient as it is perilous. As banners are raised and betrayals take root, Songen must decide what it means to be both a son and a soldier, a prince and perhaps one day a king. For in Palandas, the blood of kings is not only inheritance- ...it is sacrifice.
