Introduction: The vast world of Eterna faces many challenges: epic battles over powerful artifacts, created long ago by the First Kind; a grain shortage that's shaping up to be a global famine; the sudden decline of magic felt even in Paradiso, the World Garden; and perhaps most importantly, the menacing rumbles beneath Vulkanon, the city of lava. Many fear it will erupt, and bring about the end of times.Avery is a fat drunkard with no direction in life, and he's perfectly content with trading the last of his gold for a drink. But when a band of exiles pick the wrong night to interrupt his fun, he's embroiled in a conspiratorial plot to kidnap an innocent young girl, and use her to finish off a peoples already in distress: the Ashen Empire.Factions scramble to preserve their ways of life as cultists begin to spread their prophecies of doom. And from across the sea journeys a powerful mage, looking to form much-needed alliances in an increasingly hostile world. He seeks to unify Eterna and save the Last Spire, before humanity runs out of time.New Chapters will be posted M-W-F!
