Coming of Dawn

[ilio]

"... When it's darkest, see the stars. Their light is the hopes and dreams of the unborn, the love of lost ones. Remember that you are alive, and witness them."

The dawning star gives answers of hope, where the mountains are high on the crest of Esshar's continent.

"This is a battle you will likely not win."

They set upon a journey.

....only a handful left. Dutiful, faithful. Tried and true. Servants of the Angels and Stars.

Knights, keepers, cadets, a small group of Nysea set out for the edges of Esshar near where it borders the Empire of Barsburg. They are led by their king with hope in their stride but not much knowledge of what exactly they are looking for. A relic lost to the anvils of time is their only tell. Barsburg prepares for invasion in the looming backdrop, ready for war against Esshar for the second time. This time not against the Essharian Empire but against the Coalition, a group of independent kingdoms given power after the defeat of the Essharian Empire and the Shimmering City, Osrona.

Nysea remains outside of such jurisdiction. Their group is small, enough to not alert the growing army and with them, they have the knowledge of those that had been in the past war and the geographical advantage. They set out for a city, Achyon once under the Crown's control that now remains crushed under Barsburg forces, soon to be used as a way to jump start the war.

 Time is of the essence for this humble group.

And down, in the catacombs beneath the city - once a sign of prosperity of the Petrakis dynasty, they find answers and perhaps more..
