Aether

War was never meant to save the world.

It was meant to feed it.

Azariel does not seek a kingdom. He does not seek victory. He seeks ascension.

Beyond the mortal realm exists a dense ethereal plane ruled by the Five Supreme Mages, beings who command the flow of Ether - the primal energy from which all matter is born. To become one of them, Azariel must offer a tribute of unimaginable power.

Ether can be gathered.

Ether can be released.

And nothing releases Ether like blood.

So Azariel creates a war.

Not a battle for land or power - but a war vast enough to flood the worlds with Etheric energy. Armies rise, kingdoms fall, and the boundary between realms begins to tear apart as the conflict spreads.

Warriors will fight for hope.
Others will fight for survival.

But they are all part of the same design.

Because every drop of blood spilled brings Azariel closer to becoming one of the Five Supreme Mages - beings who shape reality itself.

And by the time the truth is known...

It will already be too late.
