Synopsis

War had already receded from all aspects of life. No chaos or conflict remained since then. From the birth of Aeon, the world entered a new era of peace and enlightenment. It was only in zones that conflict and cruelty of nature still thrived. Empires ushered in Aeon's place, territories waiting to be conquered through diplomacy rather than warfare. Instead of the sword, it was now spoken word to word, gestures that sought understanding, and treaties that bound ideas together.  The dream came true when the world of Ulythes learned about spirituality, a manifestation of will that supersedes the need for bloodshed. From this, anima acted as a spiritual spine that bridged the essence of countless souls together. Once the world knew of its secrets, artifacts, and tools were then made from this strange substance, and because such resources were easily accessible, the conflict ceased. Cultures and disagreements used to be the source of conflict, but anima proved this concept wrong. It sought unity amidst the shifting balances that scaled the weight of ideologies. Thus, dogmas were strongly spoken, not as a tool of war, but as a force of will bound by anima. "Bound by truth, bound by will. The fundamentalist principles."The mantra of the Anurands. The zone? Countless research and mystery are still at odds of why such a dimension exists in the middle of Ulythes. If Aeon was merciful, why would he let a world so consumed by chaos exist? The keepers insisted that nature will always find its way to preserve its survival. We are born from nature, and so we are governed by it. Keepers thought that spirituality was just an invention, like all its tools. It replaces dullness with servitude, promising complacency, not courage.  Lust but not pride. "What you resist not only persists but will grow in size."The mantra of the keepers.What to expect? The synopsis is a merely an expression of a lie that I crafted to a world that is desperately trying to maintain a broker of peace. The world is tied by a rope, with each individual clinging to their own version of truth, their own interpretation of reality.  It's a full of twist and turns. The pacing is not slow or fast either. The characters are very unique. The protagonist is inspired by the LOTR series Aragorn, but with a darker side.
