Once, centuries ago, the world of Celestara was whole, its people united under the eternal balance of the Crown of Skies. This mystical orb, glowing with the essence of harmony, brought peace to all kingdoms, weaving their destinies together through the power of the skies. Yet, such balance did not last without a guardian. The Chosen One, a soul blessed by the heavens, was called forth every generation to wield the Crown’s power and protect the fragile equilibrium of the world.

For ages, the Chosen walked among mortals, each carrying the immense burden of sustaining harmony. When their time came to an end, they passed their essence—a fragment of the Crown’s celestial spirit—into their successor. This cycle, unbroken for centuries, ensured that the legacy of the Chosen endured, safeguarding the realms from chaos.

The last Chosen One, Aric Homage, was a name revered across Celestara. With wisdom and grace, he maintained the delicate threads of peace, even as storms of conflict threatened the land. But as the final years of his reign drew near, he sought the next vessel for the Crown’s power. On a fateful night beneath a sky ablaze with falling stars, he transferred the Crown’s essence to a newborn child in the Skyborne Tribe, a people closest to the heavens themselves.

That child was Theron Veylannis.

Born into a kingdom of soaring cliffs and endless clouds, Theron’s destiny was sealed before he even drew his first breath. For fifteen years, he grew beneath the watchful gaze of the tribe, aware of his identity as the Chosen One. The Crown’s spirit whispered to him in dreams, revealing glimpses of its power and the trials that awaited him. While others admired him as a symbol of hope, Theron felt the weight of expectations pressing down on him. Could he truly shoulder the responsibility of uniting the realms, as Aric once had?

Now, as storms brew on the horizon and whispers of division grow louder, Theron’s moment draws near. The world looks to him for salvation, but he must first ask himself: Is he ready to carry the legacy of the Chosen Ones, or will he falter under the weight of his destiny?
