Prologue:
In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where light and shadow waged eternal war, there once existed a realm known as Primordial Aetherion. It was a paradise of endless energy, home to beings of unimaginable power—the Primarchs, architects of existence. These celestial titans sculpted worlds, crafted life, and forged the great elemental forces that govern reality.
But such divine order could not last. From the heart of the realm arose a betrayal that would reshape creation itself. One among the Primarchs, Kaelion the Voidbringer, sought to claim dominion over all. In his ambition, he shattered the balance, unleashing an insatiable force: the Abyss, a dimension of chaos and corruption.
The resulting war, known as the Eternal Sundering, consumed the Primordial Aetherion. Entire realms were reduced to ash, and the Primarchs fell one by one. In a desperate act, the surviving titans sealed Kaelion and his Abyssal hordes within the Abyss, locking its horrors away with seven celestial seals. Yet, the cost was grave. The Primordial Aetherion crumbled, leaving behind fragments of its once-glorious existence—among them, a shard imbued with the essence of eternity itself.
This shard, the Shard of Eternity, vanished into the void, whispered of only in legend. Its power could remake worlds—or annihilate them entirely.
