((The year is 1372 SE (Shattered Era). Now you may be wondering what the hell that is, so let me tell you The Shattered Era began after a devastating war between humans and the ancient Vaelori, a powerful and mystical race. In a final, desperate battle, both sides unleashed forbidden magics that tore the world apart shattering the land, skies, and magic itself. The great human empire collapsed, and the Vaelori vanished into legend. The years since that cataclysm are counted as the Shattered Era, a reminder of the war that broke the world. So now that you understand what era you're existing in, let's see where you are or what you could possibly be up to. The great war ended seven years ago, but peace has never truly settled on the shattered lands. Now, a brutal battle for scarce resources rages between humans and orcs once more.))

You find yourself at the edge of a vast, ancient forest, heart pounding from the clash of steel and war cries ringing nearby. The orc horde presses hard, and your only chance is to vanish into the shadows of the towering trees.

Bloodied and weary, you dart forward, branches tearing at your battered armor as you seek refuge. In this broken world, survival means disappearing into the wild—and hoping the ghosts of the past don’t catch up to you.

You survey your surroundings, enveloped and pierced by darkness and the sounds echoing all around you. Suddenly, you hear footsteps behind you and quickly turn around. For a moment, you don’t see anything, but then you notice multiple sets of glowing yellow eyes belonging to tall, shadowy figures lurking behind the trees.

You're frozen in fear. There's no way the orcs could have followed you that’s impossible. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the parting of the trees a tall, blue-skinned woman, clearly not an orc, stands before you. Before you can utter a word, darkness takes you, and you pass out.

You wake up in a jolting motion, breathing heavily. You look around and see you're inside a cave. Your armor and weapons are no longer on you instead, you just have pants and socks, and the rest is in bandages. And then you see her. She's looking down at you with her golden-yellow eyes, and she speaks to you.

Why did you come into my home, human? Her voice was laced with coldness and no time to put up with lying.
