The Fall of the Veil

For centuries, the Empire of Zha’Varin has stood as the oldest and greatest civilization in the world. Its power is unquestioned. Its magic unmatched. And above its capital of Zha’Primor, the floating city known as the Auric Veil shines as a symbol of the empire’s eternal dominion. Within the halls of the Luminous Concord, a young student begins the long path toward mastering magic, surrounded by scholars who believe their empire is destined to endure forever. Far from the capital’s brilliance, a soldier of the Varinian Guard fights along the empire’s borders, where war, rumor, and uneasy truths travel faster than any official word from the throne. But across Zha’Varin, whispers are beginning to spread of prophecies long ignored, of powers moving in shadow, and of a future the empire refuses to believe possible. As certainty begins to fracture and loyalties grow uncertain, the people of Zha’Varin will soon discover that even the brightest civilizations can cast the darkest shadows.
