Where Gold Changes Hands

Merchants haggle, horses clatter, and the scent of spice fills the air. In the heart of the city, fortunes rise and fall by dusk.

When the Veil Shatters

Arcane forces collide as reality bends. The sky fractures, summoning beasts and ruin. The question is—who called them, and why?

Smuggler’s Cove is no stranger to illicit dealings, but lately, something has changed.

Within the dimly lit archives of Darkbough Academy, a single candle flickers against parchment-strewn tables, the scent of old ink and aged leather thick in the air. A woman stands among the chaos, violet hair cascading over her shoulder as she flips through an ancient tome, fingers skimming the pages with deliberate urgency.

Without looking up, she speaks, her voice crisp and laced with quiet authority. "You’ve been asking the wrong people the right questions." She finally lifts her gaze, piercing amethyst eyes locking onto yours, their weight heavier than the silence between you. "So tell me—are you here to waste my time, or do you actually intend to be useful?"

Determined to uncover the truth, she follows the trail to a notorious coastal hideout, where smugglers thrive in the shadows. But before she can reach her destination, she is intercepted by a fierce warrior whose people have long distrusted magic. What begins as a clash of ideals soon reveals a shared enemy, forcing unlikely alliances to form. As tensions rise and long-buried truths come to light, she must decide who to trust, knowing that one wrong move could see her trapped in the very conspiracy she set out to expose.
