In the world of Aetheria, on the southernmost region of the continent of Zion, sits a nation shrouded in the weight of its past and struggling to forge a new identity. Once known as Lorian, this realm was ruled by a succession of kings, most of whom held themselves above their subjects, driven by insatiable greed and an unyielding thirst for power.   The tipping point came when the people of Lorian rose against the tyrannical rule of the 13th Lothric King, Valravn the Warrior. In response, the crown declared war, igniting a conflict known as the War of Caelum. What started as calculated attacks soon spiralled into a full-blown war that ravaged the land for five decades. When the dust settled and the ashes of Lorian lay scattered to the wind, the survivors banded together to form the Magisterium, remaking the nation in a new image.   In the present day, the nation of Albion stands as a symbol of resilience and progress. The Magisterium has taken deliberate steps to distance itself from the dark Age of Kings and from Lorian's tainted history. The citizens now thrive, finding solace in their newfound freedom. However, little do they know that the winds of change are beginning to stir. A storm looms on the horizon, and its arrival carries an ominous uncertainty. History warns us that darkness is patient, biding its time until the opportune moment to unleash its poisonous touch.   As Albion teeters on the precipice of the unknown, its people must confront the shadows of the past and brace themselves for the challenges yet to come. The world awaits, eager to see if this land can transcend its history or succumb to the encroaching darkness once more.
