by Flake
A God has died, and with her murder the delicate balance of the Empire teeters on collapse. The golden age of humanity is a thing of the past, their home world abandoned after the awakening of magic tore it apart. The scattered remains fled through the stars until finally settling on a new planet. Their journey left them changed, transformed. Now, over two thousands years since their exodus the Empire of the Celestial Court is in decline. The marvels of the old world are fading into antiquity, humanity and its splinter races regress with each generation. The fate of the Empire, the world, lies nestled in the Black Coast, home to the mysterious Twins. At their head lies a rare set of Triplets, their actions posed to shape the world for generations to come. Alnur, King of the Coast, feels the weight of the world on his brow. Tayla is the voice of reason to her brothers passion, two halves of a whole soul. While their sibling Fel is a walking enigma whose origins span centuries and the very stars themselves. Lies, different goals, and a dark history will threaten to tear apart the siblings. When the dust settles, will we recognize what we've become? COVER ART BY - @Janyo.ilus
