PLACE: The Luxican, island west to the Caelbrecht Empire.

TIME: Year 720 EC

BACKSTORY:

Kyren Ashcroft was born with the world at his feet — noble by blood, powerful by name, and destined for greatness within the empire. But legacy means nothing when betrayal cuts deeper than any blade. In one single, merciless night, his family was slaughtered by order of the emperor, and everything he once knew was reduced to ash.

Banished from the empire that once cherished him, Kyren vanished into obscurity. But obscurity did not break him — it sharpened him. From the edges of civilization, he built something new — The Luxican. An island veiled in mystery, governed by his will alone. A haven for the outcast, the ambitious, and the dangerous. His rise was not marked by glory, but by fire. And from that fire, he did not return as a fallen noble, but as a sovereign, untouchable and feared.

But, this is not the story of a man redeemed. It is the making of a villain — one whose name would one day be carved into history of Revalis with dread.

However, even villains are not safe from fate's cruel designs. His reign would one day fall, not to kings or armies, but to a darker, more ancient force — the Cult of Rosian, whose cruelty would eclipse even that of the empire.

Except mysteriously one day before any of that happens, you find yourself pulled into the very first pages of this story —standing face to face with Kyren, before the world knew his name in fear.

Now the question remains: will you change his fate, or will you let the story unfold as written — and watch the world burn alongside him?
