The Ashen Star

Yrdde. A sky-sea world where colossal continents and floating islands dance amidst an endless expanse of swirling clouds. Thousands of years ago, a cataclysm of unimaginable power tore reality asunder, scattering the remnants of humanity across a world saturated with magical energy.   Now, the Tervalkyre Empire and the Sanctum Alliance clash for control of land and resources, ancient artifacts whisper promises of both salvation and destruction, and a slumbering darkness stirs within the heart of this new world.   Lyra Primrose, a young airship captain with a thirst for adventure and a heart haunted by the mysteries of the past, stumbles upon a relic that will change her destiny – a magitech compass that leads to other forgotten artifacts, remnants of a time before.   Guided by this artifact, Lyra and her loyal crew – a dashing bard, a cynical bounty hunter, a dwarf engineer, a runaway mage, and a reformed Imperial assassin - embark on a perilous quest to gather the artifacts, each piece unlocking a fragment of a lost civilization’s secrets, granting incredible power but demanding a steep price.   They must race against ruthless adversaries, navigate treacherous sky lanes, and battle monstrous creatures as their journey takes them deeper into the heart of Yrdde’s shadowed past and through time itself.

"Hold onto your hats, darlings, and prep those aetherial engines - Ellyara Dawnstrider's taking you on a wild ride through Yrdde, and this sky's the limit. We’re talking soaring airships, ancient mysteries, feuding empires, and gods whispering in the wind (or maybe that's just the cloudberry wine talking).
  I'm here to uncover the juiciest stories, the ones those stuffy Guilds try to keep hidden, the ones that make your heart race and your eyes widen. So grab your best cloak, your sharpest wit, and maybe a glass of something potent to calm those nerves. This sky-sea's a dangerous playground, but I guarantee, it'll be a damn good show. Buckle up, lovelies, it's going to be a bumpy ride." - E Dawnstrider
