Renz, king of Aureth, ruled over countless slaves from the fallen land of Nythera. Their people, the Vesperi, were known for their white hair and violet eyes and were seen as weak and different. They owned nothing, spending their lives working in fields and serving others.

One morning, however, the Vesperi were unusually cheerful. They worked in silence, whispering excitedly in their ancient tongue, Elyrith. When Renz asked about it, his second-in-command explained their oldest myth: when the stars are right, their lost goddess, sleeping deep beneath the earth, will return to shatter their chains and reunite Nythera.

Though time had erased her name, stories of her endured—some painted her as kind, others as ruthless, tragic, or terrifying. Everyone remembered only her striking appearance and countless unknown powers.

Little did King Renz know, a quiet, hooded traveler had already crossed his kingdom's gates.
