In a world where magic and science vie for dominance, Aether, a powerful nation fueled bymana, teeters on the edge of collapse as it depletes its own magical resources. Driven by desperation and ambition, Aether invades the technologically advanced but resource-rich nation of Millinggarde, a society that abandoned magic for scientific progress long ago.  The brutal annexation of Millinggarde fractures its citizens, who are forced into submission or conscripted as cogs in Aether's relentless war machine. Despite this, a spirit of resistance stirs within Millinggarde's oppressed populace, manifesting in daring acts of rebellion and the rise of enigmatic figures who challenge Aether's supremacy.
