Lord_Pasta
Light uncovers truth-but in its brilliance, it also consumes what once was.
From the dim recesses of an aging empire, a crime lord of quiet brilliance begins to unfurl a design long buried by history. With wealth as his tether and influence as his hand, he draws forth men, machines, and forgotten knowledge, seeking to resurrect an age the world has tried to forget.
Far from the noise of power, a canoness lives bound to silence, prayer, and the discipline of her vows. Yet the ache of a missing parent stirs an older calling within her-one she had laid to rest. When she steps beyond her cloister's walls, she carries with her a grace sharpened by years of restraint, and a power the world believes dormant.
Across steam-choked rails, along quiet waterways, and through forest paths where secrets cling like mist, their journeys begin to converge. One walks toward dominion; the other toward revelation. Each step reshapes the fate of the empire, though neither can yet see the full shape of the other.
When faith meets ambition upon the threshold of a darkening age, which will endure-and which will be eclipsed?
