As the war in the heavens echoed through creation, its tremors reached the mortal worlds—lands of forests, oceans, and skies untouched by divine hands since the shaping of time.
In the city of Thaloril, the moon began to bleed.
Stars flickered out one by one. Children wept from nightmares of shadows whispering promises. Rivers froze midstream, and trees wept golden sap.
The people called it "the Hollowing." But Elarion's chosen knew the truth.
Hearts pure enough to feel his sorrow heard the Call.
"The heavens shake,The Veil breathes.Let those of courage rise,And burn with truth."
The First Chosen
Among the mortals, a handful were chosen—not for their perfection, but for their hearts:
Seren of the Emberwood – A young elven huntress haunted by dreams of fire and wings. Though broken by grief, her love for her people burns strong.
Kael of Dustspire – A human scribe who speaks with stars in his sleep. He has never held a sword, but knows the language of angels.
Vaelrix – A half-dragon, feared by all, abandoned by both kin and clan. But in the silence of exile, he heard Elarion's voice… and believed.
These are the Flamebearers—mortals bound not by blood, but by the will to stand, even when the skies fall.
Their journey begins not with triumph, but with trial.
Each will be tested in body, mind, and soul. And only by walking through the flames of doubt, loss, and fear… can they awaken the Celestial Fire within.
