The Fallen Monarch: Surviving the Unknown

When the world begins to change, it does not announce itself with fire or war.
It fractures quietly - through loss, displacement, and the slow erosion of everything once believed to be safe.

Thalorin has grown up protected by structures older than memory, certain that the world will always hold. But as Elythera shifts beneath his feet, that certainty begins to unravel. Rumors spread. Borders strain. And survival becomes less about strength than about learning how to endure what cannot yet be understood.

Alongside him walks Auralith - attuned to the world in ways he cannot fully grasp. She hears truths the land itself whispers, sensing the depth of a danger still hidden from view. As Thalorin struggles to comprehend the growing unrest, a realization begins to take shape: some things are vanishing from the world entirely, and they may never return.
