adventure darkness epic evil fantasy gateway guardian light love magic power writteninaction

Beware as you enter Threshim, a once bright land now darkened by hatred and hopelessness. It's people ruled by a family with roots steeped in darkness beyond their understanding. Long ago this tyranny would not have been tolerated as it would have drawn the attention of the Guardians, who fight against the darkness in all its forms - but even they are now silent.

In this land exist a Lady, a disconnected warrior and a mysterious girl with no memory of her past or who she is. With their own secrets, some of them are achingly aware of the truth that this world seems to be growing more desperate by the day. 

Now a new Lord is about to take the throne and his advent will trigger events effecting more than just this one realm.
