For centuries, the noble House Concordia, humanity’s torchbearers, guided the world through its darkest days. Their sacrifices drove back the malevolent force known only as the darkness, banishing it from the material world in the cataclysmic Battle of Scarlet Rivers. But victory came at an immense cost: the death of their revered leader, the Sword Saint, and the fracturing of humanity’s unity. In the centuries that followed, greed and hubris consumed the fractured factions of mankind, leaving the Concordia family shunned and their warnings ignored. Now, in the year 677, the darkness stirs once more, its hunger for chaos and despair reignited by humanity's corruption. As cracks tear through reality, unleashing hordes of demons upon the great city of Emberfall, the darkness manifests in a terrible, humanoid form—arrogant, cruel, and unstoppable. The nobles of the Kaizen Empire, consumed by their own self-interest, panic in the face of their reckoning, while the common people fall victim to unthinkable horrors. At the center of this unfolding apocalypse stands Eryndor of Concordia, the young head of his house. Dismissed as naïve for clinging to ancient prophecies, he has spent years pleading with humanity to unite against the darkness. Now, with the return of his family’s ancient enemy, Eryndor must rise to his legacy and rally what remains of humanity before it’s too late. But to fulfill his family’s oath, Eryndor must face impossible odds, forge alliances with those who once betrayed his house, and confront the truth of what it means to sacrifice for the light. As the forces of darkness spread across the land, "The Light Will Never Fade" is a story of shattered hope, enduring legacies, and the power of selflessness in the face of despair. Will Eryndor and those who stand with him rekindle humanity’s flame, or will the darkness extinguish the light forever?
