The shards of the Dawnstone, the return of the Ash King and the three empires – discover the world where your adventure begins.
The following lines were set down by a chronicler of Veilharbor.
The first ash
The seafarers of Veilharbor saw it first. Grey flakes drifted down onto the sea, soft as snow – only warm. Days later the whole coast lay under ash, and the rune masters said aloud what everyone already suspected: the Ash King had returned.
The shards of the Dawnstone
The Dawnstone has shattered. Its power lies scattered across the land of Nareth, hidden in ruins, caves and forgotten sanctuaries. The Runecursers have already learned from it – forbidden runes that grant power, but demand a price.
Three empires
The Order of the Blood Moon – heirs of the Dawnstone's first guardians – was the first to march against the ash from behind the walls of Bloodmoon Keep. The merchant houses of the Suncrown Alliance build armies out of gold, for they know: whoever holds the shards will rule Nareth after the war. And the Azure Veil League knows the most about the Gate of the Void – and reveals the least.
“The sky rains ash, the earth smoulders. Those who will not take up arms now will not even be remembered by name.”
And you?
The Ash War will not wait. Choose your empire, your class and your path – and write your name into the Chronicle of Nareth.
