When King Eltharion II is assassinated, the kingdom of Simbar is thrown into chaos. Noble houses vie for the throne, armies march under false banners, and the fractured land teeters on the brink of ruin. Yet, the war’s ripples extend far beyond Simbar’s borders, drawing in forces from distant realms who see an opportunity to shape the kingdom’s fate—or claim it for themselves. In the shadows of battlefields and palaces, soldiers, assassins, and outcasts weave their own destinies. Some fight for power, others for redemption, and a few simply to survive. As ancient forces stir and secrets buried beneath the crown come to light, Simbar’s fate will be forged in blood and ambition, leaving no one untouched by the ashes of its fractured legacy.
