Welcome, dear readers, to the shattered world of ORMOS, a land where gods rule with an iron fist, and rebellion brews in the shadows. To truly understand the journey ahead, one must first grasp the forces that shape this world.

The Gods & Their Dominion

In the heavens above, the Celestial Pantheon reigns supreme, dictating the fate of mortals with cruel precision. Among them, the most feared is Vorthan the Conqueror, the Tyrant God who shattered the forge-cities of Ashenfall, ensuring no mortal would challenge his dominion. His divine enforcers, the Veyron Soldiers, are relentless in their pursuit of heretics.

Yet, whispers persist of gods who have fallen—bleeding, dying, defied. Could they truly be eternal?

The Fall of Ashenfall

Once, the forge-cities of Ashenfall burned with the light of creation. Here, blacksmiths, inventors, and alchemists shaped wonders that defied even divine law. But when the people dared to forge weapons capable of striking gods, the Celestial Pantheon descended upon them in fury.

Now, Ashenfall lies in ruin—a graveyard of molten metal and shattered dreams. Yet within its wreckage, embers of rebellion still glow.

The Reincarnated Blacksmith

Stephen Veyrath was one of Ashenfall's greatest minds. Betrayed, executed, and erased from history, his story should have ended in oblivion. But fate is not so kind.

Reborn in the wreckage of his forge, Stephen awakens with fragmented memories and a burning thirst for vengeance. He is no ordinary man—his mind, sharpened by forbidden knowledge, sees the world not as fate dictates, but as a machine of cause and effect. A single precise strike can shift destiny itself.

The Enemies of the Gods

Stephen is not alone in his defiance. Across the land, others have suffered beneath divine tyranny:

Marlik Zephandrel – A rogue operative with a vendetta against the gods. He knows secrets the gods have tried to erase. Reyna Vale – A witch wielding magic long forbidden, her knowledge of necromancy and alchemy is as dangerous as it is powerful. The Olyzari Remnants – A forgotten people who once held the knowledge to wound the divine. Only a few remain in hiding.

Together, they seek to unravel the greatest secret of all: How to kill a god.

The Path Ahead

War is inevitable. The gods are watching. The empire tightens its grip.

But within the shattered gears of the past, something stirs. Stephen Veyrath was not meant to return—but now that he has, the forge will burn once more.

Are you ready to defy the divine?
