Theres a fabled city that exists above both land and water, that is the whispered lands of the gods. The city of Arimine... A place where it is said that humans and gods can meet, to worship, to pray, to ask for miracles... the island has long since been missing, now only an ancient legend, told to children before bed and sought after by many advanced adventurers in the land beneath and shunned by the sceptical.
The land beneath is filled with many religious people. It is a land ruled by the laws of make believe and fantasy... and because of this, many people are superstitious. They say that if you can find the island of Arimine once more then each person to find it can have one miracle granted each...
So what is it that will be wished for, by our four unlikely heroes... A young girl who can never show her face... A boy warrior who was cursed with blindness... A witchiling who sold her heart to demons who can no longer love and a noblemen who lost all he had in a fire...
What awaits for them on this treacherous adventure, no adventurer would dare take, is both hope and despair... each being carried by a deep resolve and a prayer...

Steady Ground | ✔
He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
