The Awakening of the Ancients
Forces that once lay dormant in the darkness are returning. Those who preceded the current age are rising again to reclaim their place. The arrival of these beings heralds the “First Edict,” a monumental shift in the world’s order.
The Dreamer and the One
The Dreamer has returned, signaling a transition where separate entities seek to become one. This unification poses a dire threat to any who stand against it, promising a state of complete isolation for those who resist.
The King’s Search and the Hunt
Loyalty to the king remains a driving force for the survivors. The hunt is underway for ancient relics and hidden truths. Every search must be conducted with the urgency of a final stand, as warriors are commanded to hunt as if it were their last day.
Facing Oblivion
The struggle culminates in a confrontation with ancient powers. To face these returning entities—accompanied by the war cry “Hrósa Aldur!”—is to face total oblivion. The journey through the new endgame storylines determines how the story of the protagonist ends.
