Aetheria: The Silent Magus
14 parts Ongoing MatureSeven years ago, the Supreme Magus Rex Ardyn vanished after defying the Crown of Aetheros - destroying the royal fragment that could lead to the mythical Heart of Aeons. To the kingdom, he was a traitor. To the Arcane Council, a heretic.
Now, the Heart has been found.
Summoned from exile, Rex returns to a kingdom changed by ambition and haunted by its past. Beneath the marble halls of Aetheros, kings whisper of salvation, queens weave promises of power, and the Arcane Council conspires behind silken smiles.
But the truth buried in the Heart is not salvation - it is a prison. Within it stirs The Nihilanth, the King of the Void-kin - the ancient darkness sealed away by the First Mage, Merlin, and the Ancients themselves.
Bound by duty, haunted by guilt, and shadowed by deceit, Rex must decide whether to help the kingdom that once betrayed him... or let it be consumed by the very power it seeks to control.
Because some relics are never meant to be awakened.
And in the echoes of Aetheria, even salvation demands a price.
