Empire of Stars and Ash

Created by

With Chaos ascendant in a world torn asunder in the aftermath of the latest Godswar, Astraia and her father, Anselm scrabble for bits of old magic, vaticinium, to sell to survive. After a devastating attack by the Entropic Theurgy leaves her father dead, Astraia must confront both her survivors guilt as well as the meaning behind the mysterious visions and bursts of unexplained magic that made her the true target of the attack.   Empire of Stars and Ash introduces a post-apocalyptic world of forgotten magic, otherworldly horrors and disparate groups trying to forge their future in the world. It's a world where order and chaos eternally clash. One rising as the other falls. Endless cycles repeating, yet each always different.   Centuries past, an equilibrium existing between the Gods of Chaos and the Gods of Order. Everyone celebrated the new status quo. It seemed as if the cycles had finally been broken and a new balance achieved, until it wasn't.   Lost to the centuries, the reasons why the balance tilted are unknown. The world is now firmly in grasp of the Gods of Chaos. Any hint of the forgotten Gods of Order are hunted down and firmly rooted out.   But, the cycle always turns. It can be slowed, never stopped completely. The Gods of Order may be forgotten, but they still work to find a way back.
