Long ago, Yilheim was a land of boundless beauty, a realm where kingdoms flourished under the shade of the great Grail Tree, a symbol of unity and life. But as with all things pure, envy and ambition took root. The Five Fathers, titans of cunning and power, rose with a singular vision: to remake Yilheim in their image.
They sought dominion not only over the land but over the Grail Tree itself—a being of unfathomable will and boundless vitality. To achieve their dream, they wove a web of influence, bending the kingdoms of Yilheim to their will. Their promise of prosperity and order blinded the rulers, and soon, the entire world knelt before the Five Fathers.
Yet their ambition bore a thorn—a single man who dared defy them. His name was whispered in reverence and fear, though his deeds echoed louder than any title. He wielded power beyond comprehension, challenging the authority of the Five Fathers. His defiance ignited a fire that spread across Yilheim, uniting the oppressed under his banner.
The Five Fathers, seeing the threat he posed, declared war. It was not a mere conflict of kingdoms but a cataclysmic struggle that shook the very foundations of Yilheim. The heavens split, the earth cracked, and rivers ran red. The Five Fathers marshaled the might of Yilheim's kingdoms against him, uniting a world to crush a single man.
And in the end, he fell. His rebellion was extinguished, but victory came at an unspeakable cost. The scars of that war marred Yilheim forever. The Grail Tree, enraged by the betrayal and destruction, withdrew its blessings, casting Yilheim into an age of turmoil and decay. The kingdoms fractured, their unity a distant memory, and the land was left a shadow of its former self—a canvas of chaos, stained with the blood of ambition.
To this day, the Five Fathers remain shrouded in mystery, their influence veiled but palpable. Yilheim's wounds fester, and the madness they unleashed lingers like a storm on the horizon.

Years later, amidst the fractured remnants of Yilheim, three siblings found themselves torn from a world of order and thrust into one of chaos. Their lives on Earth had been ordinary, but that simplicity was ripped away without warning.
Valerius stood wide-eyed as the vibrant skies of Yilheim unfolded before him, his gaze filled with wonder and fear in equal measure. His sister Ziraiah, sharp and calculating, scowled, her eyes scanning the unfamiliar landscape with resentment. She clenched her arms tightly around herself, as if trying to reject the very air of this foreign world. Eryndor, their eldest brother, clenched his fists, his instincts screaming to protect them both from the unknown dangers that surely awaited.
The siblings had no explanation for their arrival in Yilheim, only the pressing question of survival. They soon learned that this world was merciless. Its beauty concealed danger, and its power demanded a price. Their Elvhein heritage—long dormant on Earth—began to stir, awakening strengths they did not understand and fears they could not suppress.
Whispers of their existence reached far and wide. Elvheins were a race nearly extinct in Yilheim, their kind long thought to be a myth. Their sudden appearance drew attention from allies and predators alike.
Unbeknownst to them, their lineage carried ties to the very conflict that had torn Yilheim apart. The shadows of the past loomed over them, and the path before them promised no solace. In a land ruled by chaos, they would have to decide whether to fight, to flee, or to embrace the madness.
And far away, in the darkened halls where power and ambition still thrived, a new storm began to gather. The Five Fathers watched, their silence betraying an interest too dangerous to ignore. For in the siblings lay the seeds of something far greater—and far more terrifying—than even they could imagine.

Yilheim was a land marked by the ambitions of its rulers and the defiance of its rebels. The echoes of that ancient war lingered, shaping every corner of its existence. But far beyond its shimmering skies, on a world untouched by its madness, three siblings unknowingly bore a legacy tied to Yilheim's fate. Their journey had yet to begin, but the threads of destiny were already pulling them toward the heart of the storm."
