Since the Cataclysm—the cataclysmic event that tore the Old World asunder, exterminating races and giving birth to new ones—the Taron, golden in skin and hair, have reigned over the New World as undisputed sovereigns. Today, no one knows the true history behind the Cataclysm. Even the Taron themselves have forgotten their origins. Or have they been made to forget? One thing is certain: In the wake of the Cataclysm, the Old World was overrun by orcs. Only the peninsula of Halfcliffe, connected to the main continent of the Old World by a narrow strip of land, stood fast. Protected by the fortress city of Avernus, which had withstood every orcish siege to this day, elves and humans continued to live.The Taron led many surviving races and people across the ocean to the New World, where they founded their empire. An empire that has endured for six hundred years, always guided by a Taron Lux. But times are changing. The crusades of humans and elves push the orcs back further each day, carving out space for settlers in the Old World.And in the New World?The era of the ruling dynasty, the ás Pendragyn, has come to a violent end. Betrayed by four of the seven throne families of Taron, the once-great city and island of Taron itself is now under siege by the Republic of Humans, led by the ruthless Patriarch Jesna.The winds of change are howling, threatening to engulf both worlds in a maelstrom of conflict and revelation. The true history of the Cataclysm might come to light, marking the beginning of a new age. Or the return of an old one?Above all this, you can hear the winds blow an old melody. A haunting reminder of what was lost and a harbinger of what is yet to come: Gold and silver, bright and cold, A tale of conflict yet untold.Gold, the fire, fierce and lusted,Silver, balmy and maladjusted.Gold, with fire in its veins,Seeks to rule and hold the reins. Gold for glory, silver pure,Both entwined in fates unsure.Let them feud, let them war,So Golden blood shall flow galore. Im using AI to translate my story from german into english, because i would say my english skills are not the yellow from the egg :) But Im trying to change that by improving my english, so that i can write it directly without being reliable on an AI to translate.
