Long ago, Velkarion was not just a world — it was a living force, where the vital energy known as Aetherium flowed freely through sky, sea, and stone. All things were bound in a perfect cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth. But balance was never eternal. A cataclysm known as the Primordial Fracture shattered Velkarion’s core into five spiritual fragments, birthing the present-day factions. Each absorbed a distinct aspect of the Aetherium, shaping its people and ideologies around their interpretation of power. Now, Velkarion stands fractured. The ancient alliances have crumbled. Myths have become weapons. And the struggle to control — or restore — the Aetherium defines every living soul. As new powers rise, and old secrets stir in forgotten ruins, the fate of Velkarion lies in the hands of those who can wield its essence... and endure its curse.
