Infos

Two worlds divided. One bathed in perpetual sunlight, the other veiled in an eternal twilight. Between them shimmers the Divide, a membrane of ancient magic, the lifeblood of both realms-and now, the source of their impending doom.
Eira, the last of the Veilkeepers, carries a dying magic, the power to traverse the Divide. As its ethereal tapestry unravels, unleashing chaotic energies, Eira's dormant abilities awaken, thrusting her into a desperate race against time.  She seeks not glittering treasures, but fragmented echoes of forgotten magic, scattered across a landscape warped by the encroaching corruption. Each echo promises not only a sliver of control over the failing veil but also a glimpse into the terrifying truth behind its creation.
Alden, prince of Aeridor, haunted by a childhood trauma linked to the Divide, joins Eira's quest.  His outward charm masks a deep-seated fear of the other realm, a fear fueled by generations of prejudice.  He sees in the Divide's collapse not just the destruction of his kingdom, but the resurgence of his own suppressed nightmares.
Seris, a Lunumbran shadowmancer, completes their unlikely trio.  She believes the Divide is not a protector, but a prison, stifling her realm's true potential.  Her hidden agenda and unwavering focus on Lunumbra's liberation create friction within the group, constantly challenging Eira's burgeoning sense of responsibility for both worlds.
Their journey takes them through hallucinatory seas, whispering forests, and forgotten cities, each location a trial of spirit and will.  As Eira's power grows, so does the revelation of the Divide's true history-a desperate act to contain a parasitic magic that now threatens to consume all. The final echo lies at the heart of the Divide itself, guarded by a being of pure corrupted magic.
Eira must make an impossible choice: maintain the decaying Divide and condemn both realms to a slow death, or shatter it entirely and risk unleashing the ancient cataclysm.  But a third path, a forgotten whisper from the past, offers a glimmer of hope-a chance for symbiosis, for a unified world born from balance. The cost?  The ultimate sacrifice.
