Here, legends coexist with reality: residents believe that "Shadows" roam in the dungeons and on the outskirts - entities born out of people's pain and fear. No one officially recognizes them, but disappearances and strange deaths occur all the time.

They say the stars remember what the world has forgotten. Beneath a sky split by ancient light and whispered storms, something long buried begins to stir. Two souls. One ancient legend. A mythical city called Velira-lost to time, buried in stories. But what if the tales were real? Drawn by strange visions and impossible reflections, the boys step into a world where forgotten truths whisper from ruins, and the past refuses to stay buried. To uncover the secret of Velira, they must face what history erased-and what destiny demands. In the hush between worlds, an ancient name echoes-Velira. A name carved in dreams. A riddle wrapped in ruins. A world lost not by accident... but by design. Some doors are not meant to open. Some truths are not meant to be known. But once you enter Thalara, you do not return the same. 🕯️ Let the shadows guide you. Let the silence speak. The lost world waits...
