Magic, Dark Lords, and Other Lies From The Empire

In the world of Vi-Jes, The Viq Dajes Empire has stood for over a thousand years. With its bountiful fields filled with crops, deep mines with endless ores, and calm seas abundant with fish, many believe it to be a land blessed by the gods. The Five Temples, in their boundless generosity, sought to share this great prosperity with the rest of the continent, even as the cruel and greedy plundered their lands.

However, after an encounter with a thief, a mage, and the Royal Guard, her life takes a drastic turn. Things she once thought impossible have become her reality, and with every new day she learns more about the lies that held up the world.
