They speak in low whispers of the mage, of night terrors or a hero returned, a demon and a saint in the same breath. Heresy, said the priests; hearsay, said the lords. But the crown is silent even as the grapevines unfurl, and so the rumors swell and spread all the same.
Like wind passing through the trembling trees, certain as the coming of the dawn, the word travels through farmsteads and castles alike:
The mage lives again.
You are a talented mage on the run from your mysterious past, who becomes embroiled in a tangle of royal politics and warfare you had never seen coming.
This chain of events sees you executed for a crime you did not commit--and resurrected by a mysterious group bearing a vicious vendetta. As around you the world moves to repeat the tragedy of an age-old conflict, you must find a place for yourself in the midst of this chaos...before it claims your life once more.
Play as a man, woman, or non-binary. The game will never ask you to define your romantic or sexual inclinations; you may assess your attraction to each potential suitor as they arise.
Walk the path of a legendary mage, combining four different schools of magic to devastating effects.
Uncover the secrets of your dark heritage, and harness the tremendous powers that run through your bloodline.
Find love from among five romance options, including a warrior king, an aspiring saintess, a pair of underground revolutionaries, and a figure from your distant past.
Strike a bargain with arcane deities beyond your ken, and invoke their powers on the field of battleāat a steep price.
Shape your characterās personality, and have it influence their dialogue with others in the world.
Rise to lofty heights as the right hand of royalty, and experience a fall from grace resulting in your execution.
Take revenge against the kingdom that executed you, or seek a path to reconciliation.
Unravel the truth behind the continentās age-old conflicts, and see its future shaped according to your influence.
LEON, THE SUN KING
Formerly the leader of the White Fangs, a band of mercenaries operating out of the Parami city of Calinger. Leon is a member of the Royal House of Param, and a celebrated war hero who liberated his nation from foreign invaders. Although in his youth he was known to have a laid-back and sunny disposition, recent events have rendered him solemn and aloof. [RO]
ILYA, HEART OF PARAM
Former healer of the White Fangs. Ilya is a priestess and foremost candidate for the position of Saintess of the Jovian Church, one of the most influential positions in all of Arvanand. She is also heiress to a noble house on the brink of ruin, and living at the edge of destitution has tempered her into a wise and dutiful young woman. [RO]
SAINE, SHADOW OF THE SUN
Brother to Leon and himself a prince of Param. Though there is a childishness and naivete to him that speaks of his youth, Saine is the model prince in nearly all aspects: he excels at his studies, observes decorum perfectly, and is a fighter talented enough to hold his own in the White Fangs. Yet the prince seems to have a strained relationship with his station in life, and is markedly resentful of those who seeks to tie him down to it. [Non-RO]
FALCO / FLYSS, THE ZEALOT
Formerly Falco/Flyss Oscionne. A young mage possessing prodigious skill in commanding the arcane, with the ambition to match. They are irascible and easily given to grandstanding, and they further seem to carry a particular dislike for you.Ā [RO]
YUSUHA / YURUI, THE FOX GOD
Formerly Yusuha/Yurui Cheilong. A native of the Yotai Free Cities, though their maternal family tree can be traced back to Salantira. Flirtatious, kind, and easygoing to a fault, which makes them seem an odd fit for the sinister organization they work for. And though they often advocate against the crude methods of those they work with, their loyalty to the cause never seems to waver. [RO]
ELI, PLAGUE-BREAKER
A combat healer whose cold demeanor belies a heart of gold. A close confidant of yours in your childhood, Eli was present during the most traumatic moments of your life and was the only reason you survived them. Certain events compelled them to sacrifice their life to save yours; now that youāve been miraculously reunited, they seem adamant to stay by your side at all costs. [RO]
TAHLIA, THE DARK CHRONICLER
A woman of ethereal beauty who serves as a priestess of the Ishavak Faith. Though on paper her position within the Ishavak Church is a lowly one, in truth she acts as the covert leader of its military arm. As the foremost expert on matters of the arcane, an able political strategist, and an incredible mage besides, Tahlia is perhaps the Ishavak Faithās strongest asset in reestablishing its presence throughout Arvanand.Ā [Non-RO]
