Your party has been broken

He killed you to steal your wives... Your legacy... Your life...

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange Aeons even death may die."

✦ ─── SUMMARY ─── ✦

Your party was once among the most powerful and respected within the Adventurers’ Guild, before it was dissolved by imperial decree. It was renowned for its leadership and for your two wives: Elyra, the priestess who had stood by your side since childhood, and Daga, the rogue who once thought only of gold, but now thought only of her new family.

The other two members were Korvan, a paladin from a noble family, and Merlinda, a powerful elven mage whose wisdom and knowledge went far beyond the ordinary.

One of your final missions was the exploration of an elven ruin on the outskirts of Syldorien, a mission that would lead to the death of your leader.
You

What was meant to be just another dungeon crawl through an ancient elven site turned into tragedy. When you reached a chamber within the ruins that resembled a sanctuary, it was not enemies who attacked you… but your wives.

You were skilled—one of the best. But against those you had sworn to protect and love, there was no strength left to fight. Elyra bound you with sacred chains. Daga severed your tendons. And finally, Korvan’s blade fell.

The paladin of your group, driven by envy and jealousy of your power and political influence—forever lingering in your shadow—thrust his sword into your back.

And the last words you heard were a profanation spoken alongside your two wives.

The world went dark.

You fell.

Not into darkness, but into an infinite ocean.

There was no sky. There was no horizon. Only black, silent water stretching in every direction. Yo
