In an age long after the first crowns were broken, when the memory of old kingdoms lingers like frost upon stone, the world turns once more toward shadow.
Far from the courts of men, in the deep and listening forests, a youth is raised beyond the reach of thrones. He is heir to a realm he has never seen, born of a land lost to ice and silence, and burdened with a legacy written in blood and sacrifice. Though he would choose a quiet life, the world does not forget those it has marked.
For ancient powers do not perish-they wait.
Across the kingdoms, signs stir: visions granted to kings, ruins that awaken from slumber, beasts and banners moving as though guided by a will unseen. Old oaths fray, and the long peace begins to crack. What was once sealed threatens to rise again, and the deeds of the past return to claim their due.
This is a tale of roads unwillingly taken, of truths spoken too late, and of a crown that must be earned, not inherited. It is the story of a world standing at the brink, and of one who must decide whether to turn away from history-or walk into it, unarmed by certainty, yet unyielding in resolve.
For when the last light falters, it is not always kings who are called to stand.
Sometimes, it is the uncrowned.
