About
In a world beyond imagination, thirteen of the most powerful Mages—driven by greed and a thirst for power—unleashed the devastating Elements through dark rituals, dooming the land to chaos and despair. Entire countries vanished in an instant, continents shattered, and massive armies bound by ancient runes brought war to what remained. Only a few islands survived, linked by magic portals.
Just a few years after the end of the Convocation, evil returns—stronger than ever—to finish what it started. But hope remains: prophecies speak of a human cursed with immortality, forever bound by blood runes. Soon, the fate of many may hinge on the power of one—for better or for worse.
