The Seven Guardians

The Time of Reckoning was a drastic disaster that bled upon the world every thousand years when the Dark One awoken. From His prison harbored in the darkest depths of Hell, the Dark One would be unleashed and escape to the Overworld, where he would continue in his goal to conquer it.

The books of legend spoke of a group of heroes, a group consisting of mighty powerful beings gifted by the Creator himself. This group of beings would stand against the Dark One, seizing him in his destruction, veiling his anger and sealing it back into the Underworld so the world above would be at peace once more.

They called them Guardians.

Unfortunately, these powerful beings had mysteriously disappeared five hundred years ago. Now, five hundred years early, the Dark One has awoken once more, intent on destroying the world and spreading the wicked illness of death. The Overworld burns, disease rots and withers away its surface. Its people are slaughtered, stolen away by the hands of death and fear.

A young sorcerer witnesses it all.

Once precious home and family are withered away, this young sorcerer sets out to find these old legends and bring back the world's peace once more.

But on this journey, this sorcerer begins to realize he dug far deeper into something he could have never imagined.
