Infos

Beneath the ochre sky of the Coal-forged City, where smokestacks choked the sun and the whispers of fallen gods mingled with the clang of machinery, an ancient power stirred.  Millennia ago, Prometheus gifted humanity fire - not out of altruism, but as a seed of vengeance against Zeus. Now, that fire had evolved into the Pyre, a sentient entity of incandescent rage, and it had found a new host: Kaida Roe, a young blacksmith with soot on her cheeks and a newfound inferno in her eyes.
The Pyre surged through Kaida, warping flesh and bone, granting her unimaginable strength. Prometheus, scarred by eons of torment, sought to claim his creation and unleash it upon Olympus, shattering his celestial chains. But Alyssa Wynn, a historian obsessed with forgotten lore, sensed the impending doom. Racing against the Titan's encroaching shadow, she sought the Pyre's host, the unwitting key to Prometheus's vengeful plan.
Their paths converged as the city trembled beneath the Titan's gaze. Prometheus offered Kaida power, a world where humanity ruled, fueled by the Pyre. Alyssa warned of the fire's destructive nature, urging Kaida to sever the connection before it consumed them all.  Caught between seductive promises and dire warnings, Kaida wrestled with the inferno within.
But the conflict extended beyond Kaida's struggle. Her brother, Elias, a brilliant engineer, was seduced by Prometheus's vision, forging weapons of terrible power. Theron Finch, a haunted clockwork soldier, found himself drawn into the fight alongside Alyssa, his past intertwining with the looming threat. And in the city's depths, the marginalized Coal Whisperers, keepers of ancient secrets, rose in resistance, offering Kaida an unexpected path.
As Prometheus's influence grew, the Pyre's hunger threatened to ignite an apocalypse.  Kaida, facing an impossible choice, discovered a third way-a way to harness the Pyre's raw power, not for destruction, but for creation.  In the heart of the Great Foundry, amidst the clash of divine wrath and human resilience, she would forge a new destiny for her city, one sparked by the ashes of a titan's ambition and fueled by the unwavering spirit of humanity.
