The Shattered Covenant of the Seven Pillars of Eternity
Across a vast and shadowed continent, the Seven Pillars of Eternity stand as timeless monuments to a world governed by divine mandate. For millennia, these pillars have upheld a fragile order, forged by the Seven Churches—The Holy See of Light, The Silver Order, The Blood Council, The Cog Temple, The Necrotic Faith, The Abyssal Cult, and The Draconic Order—bound together under a sacred covenant. Proclaiming themselves the earthly stewards of the gods, these churches reign over a land steeped in faith, yet fractured by ambition. Beneath their sanctified banners, however, lies a web of deception spun by false deities, whose whispered lies have shaped the destiny of nations.
This world is no sanctuary. Born from the ashes of the Cataclysm of the Gods, a mythic war shrouded in enigma where the false gods rose to power, the continent bears the scars of its untold past. Nobles wield blood rites to chain the masses, shadowed markets trade in forbidden relics and mechanical augments, while witch hunters stalk the night, their blades glinting with righteous zeal. The air hums with the clangor of alchemical forges, the wails of restless spirits summoned from ancient crypts, and the roars of dragonkin echoing across desolate peaks. Beneath it all, fissures in the earth pulse with abyssal murmurs, a testament to forces older and darker than the churches dare admit. The Seven Pillars, symbols of eternal dominion, stand atop this chaos, their sanctity a façade masking corruption and greed.
For centuries, the covenant has held—barely. The Seven Churches, outwardly united in their divine mission, vie in secret for supremacy, each hoarding knowledge and power that threaten the others. The false gods they worship offer no miracles, only hollow promises, while whispers of a greater truth—buried deep beneath the pillars—begin to stir. Prophecies, long suppressed, speak of a time when the oaths binding this world will shatter, when the pillars will crumble under the weight of their own lies, and when the shadow of the false gods will give way to a reckoning beyond mortal comprehension.
Now, the cracks are widening. A young witch hunter, armed with a blade etched in sacred runes, steps into a forsaken village chasing a rumored vampire threat, only to find a figure whose presence defies all he knows. Across the land, voices of dissent rise—nobles cast aside by their kin, priests questioning their faith, outcasts wielding forbidden arts. From the ashes of betrayal, a rebellion takes root, one that will challenge the sanctity of the Seven Pillars and unravel the covenant that binds them. As the false gods stir and ancient rifts widen, the continent teeters on the brink of upheaval, its fate hinging on those bold enough to defy eternity itself.
This is a realm where faith is a lie, where rebellion is a spark, and where the echoes of a shattered covenant will reshape the cosmos. From the ruins of a forgotten village to the battlefields of higher planes, The Shattered Covenant of the Seven Pillars of Eternity unfolds a saga of treachery, valor, and the dawn of a new age.
