OVERVIEW

There was man who once contested the throne of Eastrane — and lost. A century has passed since his death, and three failed rebellions have followed, each extinguished all the same. What remained is the living, breathing ghost of a cause that has outlived kings, outlasted peace, and outburned three wars. Amaya Duskrow. For ninety-five years, she has kept an oath sworn over his grave: to see his blood sit to the throne.

She watched your ancestors grow. She saw them fall.

She leads the Black Thorn — a mercenary company, forged in the fires of three failed rebellions. They are veterans, exiles, former slaves, and desperate nobles. Their loyalty is not to a crown, but to an oath and blood. And you? You carry the very same blood in your veins. They will call you the heir. The last hope. To some, you are a symbol of restoration. To others, you are the spark for a fourth — and perhaps final — conflagration. Across the horizon waits the kingdom that is your by blood, yours by right — whether to claim it or not is for you to decide, of course.

If you accept...

The Fourth Rebellion is about to begin.

Will you be its salvation — or its last casualty?
