In the realm of the Eleven Houses, the Autarch's rule is absolute, and he ensures that power remains firmly in his grasp. The Houses, while loyal to him, are rife with conflict and ambition, each vying for dominance in a game where the stakes are nothing less than survival.  In the shadows, zealots whisper of the return of a long-sealed away god-emperor, and resistance groups, fueled by desperation and hope, plot to bring down the Autarch’s regime. Meanwhile, criminal empires thrive, exploiting the chaos for their own gain. Technology has advanced to the point where superhuman abilities are not just the stuff of legend. People have learned to manipulate energies, turning what could have been progress into another weapon of control and destruction. Every dispute becomes a battle of wills, a flash of power that disrupts the very fabric of reality. Enter Meno, a young boy trapped on a desolate rock where a disease has claimed everyone around him. His guardians argue over his future, but Meno knows that with the military's arrival, his time is running out. The presence of a House Pillar overhead casts a long shadow over the town, signalling that something far more dangerous has just arrived. So, what's a boy to do? It's time for Meno to start making an escape—preferably one that doesn't involve him ending up as another statistic in this galactic mess. Because if he stays, he’s done for. And if he leaves, well... at least he'll get to see what all the fuss is about out there.
