About This Game

A war was meant to end. A world lost its will.

For centuries, demons and beings of light have shaped Lianur's fate. Its people are caught between ancient powers whose conflict has become part of everyday life. When one man seeks a way to end that war forever, his actions change the world in ways no one fores

Tharen's journey begins with a question

Under the Shadow Crystal's influence, Tharen has done whatever was asked of him. Now feelings, doubts, and a will of his own are returning. He barely understands what is happening to him, yet others already have plans for his future.

Beside him are Ziana, a warrior charged with his protection; Azira, a healer; and her reptilian companion Lazass. Across coastal cities, hidden forests, and the traces of old conflicts, they must learn to trust one another. Where duty, loyalty, and freedom collide, even a promise to save the world is not simple.
