The Edwardian, captained by its unshakeable namesake, had embarked on many an adventure, and its name had gained fame enough to ring with some familiarity even as far as the small hamlet of Atherdee. Unbeknownst to the eclectic crew, the key to bridging the gap between recognizable and legendary status spent her nights tending to the town's humble inn. Coaxed from comfort by a simple pocket watch and bolstered by the courage of her brother at her side, Eabha finds herself gravitating towards the mystical call of the great ship, fortuitously joining the rambunctious brotherhood on board. In so doing, she discovers that the stories of bravery, magic, family, and love not only exist in tales of the world beyond, but, in fact, were now embodied by those around her and, ultimately, within her. When the ruthless forces of darkness face the unrelenting strength of The Edwardian battalion and their new, unassuming hero, every skill will be tested and terrible sacrifices will be made in the desperate hope that what they have built together will prove powerful enough to overcome the looming shadows threatening their survival and the freedom of their beloved country.

Chronicles of Avaloria
More than a century ago, the once-mighty human-dwarven alliance of Ostrovia was destroyed during a brutal series of civil wars and political malfeasances. Ancient blood magic and dwarven machinery fueled the death and destruction. Kings turned on one another, and the great wizards were corrupted by their own power. In the last days of the fall, the orc tribes, united by chaos and bloodshed, descended from the mountains and destroyed the war-torn kingdom, becoming the new dominate race of the land, leaving humanity on the brink of extinction. During those final days, a lone ship of desperate survivors set course on a bold expedition into the perilous and uncharted Sea. Against all odds, they crashed upon the shores of Avaloria... a realm steeped in ancient magic and guarded by a living forest teaming with dangerous enemies and undiscovered wonder. Now, a generation later, under the steadfast leadership of Aldros Valtir, the descendants of that fateful journey labor to rebuild civilization in the new world. At the edge of the wild frontier, young Aelar Varos has grown up in Harrow's End, a modest village, clinging to the untamed forests of Avaloria. But when Aelar unwittingly attracts the attention of something more powerful than he can fathom, it sets his destiny on an uncertain course. Cedric Valtir, eldest son of the King and heir to the throne, is loved by his men and women in equal measure. In the bustling heart of Valoria, where the lively corridors of The Silver Stag echo with hope and revelry, Cedric bridges his regal past with the promise of a new future. With his effortless grace, keen intellect, and warm humor, he inspires his people as he listens to their dreams and fears, even as whispers of impending threats swirl around him. But what will fate have in mind when he leaves the walls of the city that defines him?
