At the Edge of the Abyss
The continent of Terrazir is etched upon an endless sea, a land of hills that roll like waves, mountains that scrape the sky, and prairies that seem to stretch on forever. Here, the history of clans and kingdoms has been written with the blood of the innocent and the lament of the victors. Right at its heart, Zhailon rises, a kingdom of imposing walls and the home from which, it is said, the mightiest warriors are born. For many, to belong to Zhailon is a herald of power and ambition. For young Aiden, however, it was once simply his world, the place where his future as a distinguished student at the Eilhart Academy was just beginning to blossom.
But one fateful night, everything changed. In a single, tragic confrontation, the world Aiden knew shattered into pieces. Condemned, his Svalthren blood a shadow that weighed heavier than any trial, he was cast into the desolate silence of the Hollow Bastion. Fifteen years passed there, and with them, hope vanished almost entirely.
It was then, with the coronation of a new king, Veilon Thalmyr, that an unexpected order twisted his fate once more. Aiden was pulled from the darkness, not to find the freedom he longed for, but to be placed in the service of the King's new elite forces, under the gaze and command of the dangerous Angellon Norvel.
Now, back in a world that recognizes him only as the ghost of a crime, Aiden finds himself on a path fraught with peril. Bound by a duty he did not choose, to a king he distrusts and a commander whose true motives are a mystery, the echoes of his past cry out for vengeance. But the future, uncertain and menacing, seems to demand that he become someone entirely different.
Will Aiden allow himself to be consumed by the bitterness of all that was taken from him? Or can he find, amidst the rubble of his former life, the strength to face what comes, and perhaps, just perhaps, forge a new path? His journey unfolds... At the Edge of the Abyss.
