Before the betrayal, before the dragon, before the fabled Eight, there was Erika, a barbarian princess from the highland village of Alkanat. Caught between the son that her father wanted and the woman that she was destined to become, young Erika Kuunweister, fought bandits, orcs and even members of her own kind on her way to becoming one of the most legendary dragon-slayers of all time.

The Belorian Chronicles by ProabisHD
3 parts Ongoing Mature
The Land of Beloria A land brimming with magic and natural beauty, Belloria is home to humans, dwarves, elves, beastmen, and countless mythical creatures. Yet beneath its enchantment, the realm is fractured-its people divided. The elves rule the western lands, their mastery of magic unmatched. Separated from the rest of Beloria by the massive Vyrath Divide, a river so wide and powerful it acts as a natural barrier, the elves have grown distant-and arrogant. Humans, once thriving across Beloria, have been hunted nearly to extinction. Now, they survive in the frozen, inhospitable North, in a small nation called Frosthelm. The brutal climate forces them to rely on ingenuity and sheer will. Though scorned by the other races, humanity remains resourceful-and dreams still stir of reclaiming their place in the world. To the East, dwarves and beastmen have forged a formidable alliance. The dwarves, masters of craftsmanship, labor in vast underground forges, building advanced technology and weaponry. The beastmen, fierce and physically dominant, lend raw strength to their cause. Together, they pose a rising challenge to the elven rule-but tensions within their alliance threaten to tear it apart. The southern lands are shrouded in unnatural darkness, feared by all. Magic there is dying-drained from the land itself-leaving behind dead forests, cracked earth, and cursed wastelands. The air carries an ancient evil, its corruption spreading like a sickness across Beloria. Whispers of this growing darkness haunt the edges of every border, foretelling a coming doom.
