Nemerath is a world born from ruin, shaped by the great calamity that brought the First World to its end. Its kingdoms, roads, and peoples rose from what remained, while the truth of that lost age faded into broken histories, forbidden beliefs, and mysteries no living soul can fully explain. Across the lands of Aetheris travels Khloryat, a wanderer bound to a sword he neither understands nor desires. No matter where he abandons it, no matter how far he runs, the weapon always finds its way back to him, as though tied to his fate by an oath he never swore. His journey will lead him through dangerous roads and unfamiliar places, into unexpected encounters, fragile alliances, and mysteries buried beneath the surface of the world. Yet the greatest struggle will not always come from the dangers around him. With every step, Khloryat is forced to confront his own memories, doubts, and fears, while the sword’s silent presence grows ever more difficult to ignore. Is it a relic, a curse, or the instrument of a purpose older than Nemerath itself? And can Khloryat ever free himself from it, or has the blade already chosen the path he must follow? Introspection and adventure, unexpected friendships, ancient mysteries, violence, loss, and the burden of destiny intertwine in The Sword of the Last Oath, Volume I of the epic fantasy saga Whispers of the First World.
