Introduction:
Oz was once a land of magic and harmony, but under the rule of the cunning and oppressive Wizard of Oz, it has become a fractured kingdom. Magic, once a source of unity, is now a tool of fear and control. In the peaceful northern villages, a young wizard named Glanther lives a quiet life, using his gifts to heal and inspire his community through music. However, his world is shattered when the Wizard's forces arrive, demanding loyalty and taking his closest friend as a prisoner.
Forced to confront the tyranny he once avoided, Glanther sets out on a journey to rescue his friend and protect his people. Along the way, he joins forces with Nerion, a fiery ally seeking his own family, and Glinda, a conflicted figure torn between loyalty and guilt. Together, they uncover the secrets of the Wizard's power, the legacy of Elphaba, and Glanther's destiny as the "Good Wizard of the North."
In a tale of courage, redemption, and the enduring power of compassion, Glanther must rise to confront the Wizard and unite Oz against tyranny, proving that even the smallest light can guide a broken kingdom back to hope.

It's tough being on your own in the nation of Caelum when you're a child. You have to fend for yourself in an unforgiving world of pirates, moral-less thieves and murderers, and airborne islands that spell death the moment you fall off one of them.
It's even tougher being somebody who everyone and their aunt wants to either kill or capture for a prize, all because you can, to put it simply and literally, "make magic happen."
But do you know what's even tougher than all of that? Being both of those along with having no memory of any of it along with every last shred of your past, even your last name.
So my name is Loto, and welcome to my world.
