Morally Grey Choices
The island of Orbis is a corpse desecrated by tyranny.
From the frosted peaks of Aksala to the sun-bleached dunes of Solis, elements weep. Ice burns, sand cracks, and fields rot under General Vortigen’s iron rule.
In the bitter north, Chaëlle Skysong survives as a ghost, haunting the ruins of her slaughtered tribe with Ohanko, a jaguar of shadow and myth. Her name has been erased from history, leaving only a cryptic symbol.
Leagues away, amidst shifting sands, Willærd Al'Gaze clings to a pilgrimage turned prison. A man of forbidden mercies, his life is upended by a single choice. The act of defiance forces him out of the shadows. As their identities bleed together, Will’s need for redemption becomes fuel for Chaëlle’s uprising. Bound together by blood, beast, and shared honour, they must traverse a fractured land to unmake an empire that believes itself eternal.
Together, they might become legend—or mere stains in the ash.
