He was never born for a crown.
Not forged in fire, but hammered in hate
An unwanted half blood, too human for the elves, too elven for the humans.
So they gave him steel. And it never asked where he came from.
Only how deep he could cut.
But the world is dying.
The gods are silent.
Magic is but a whispered myth, buried under centuries of war, ignorance, and decay. Once vibrant empires that harnessed the raw power of the world are now crumbling, their ruins lost beneath moss and dust. It has been over a thousand years since the last known spell was cast, and most believe magic never truly existed at all. Only charlatans, lunatics, or fanatics speak of its return.
But something stirs.
At the borders of civilization, in forgotten woods and the blackened hearts of mountains, creatures of myth are seen again. Strange lights dance across the sky. Whispered prayers once thought useless begin to echo back.
Magic is waking up. Slowly. Painfully.
But before it returns in full, blood will paint the earth.
