Aetheria is a region with a vast number of breathtaking sights, calm towns and villages, and towering fortresses and castles. It's a must visit for anyone travelling across the continent of Terren.

But Aetheria isn't particularly perfect. As some of the residents throughout the region aren't very ...well...

...human. And are as friendly as they are human. 

These types of individuals can vary from bloodsucking vampires and deceiving witches, to evil kingdoms and even corrupt demon overlords. All of these vile and dangerous forces are in a fight for control over the region against the remaining humans. And these humans are known as "The Vanguards". 

The Vanguards are an elite team of fighters, who's main objective is to keep fighting in order to reclaim their homes. Each member has their own backstories and motives, along with strengths and weaknesses.

But in the end, they all share the same goal. To take back what used they used to call home, Aetheria.
