The Astar Empire — as majestic as it is ancient, it has flourished for millennia upon the bones of forgotten enemies. Yet its very foundation is built on blood and a monstrous pact with a race that emerged before the universe was even created. For thousands of years, the mistakes of the past slumbered beneath a shroud of myth. But the time to fulfill the promises made by the First Emperor is inexorably drawing near. The faceless monoliths — the Towers — are beginning to stir, and the Outposts, long purged from all chronicles, which once guarded their gruesome silence, are again filled with the hum of impending war. This is a story about the inevitability of retribution for ambitions that have outlived epochs. As ancient secrets begin to dictate the flow of time, heroes must face something older than reality itself. Are you ready to hear the Call of the Tower?
