Title: The Guardians of the Eternal FlameLevel: Advanced (C1)


#Story : The story follows four Guardians—Lysandra, Caelan, Vespera, and Eirik—who protect the Eternal Flame, a sacred source of light that wards off darkness. When Miraak, a former Guardian corrupted by shadows, returns to extinguish the Flame, a fierce battle ensues. Despite their unity, Miraak's connection to an ancient darkness proves nearly overwhelming. Using the Bond, a powerful but dangerous technique, the Guardians channel the Flame's light to sever Miraak’s link to the shadows. Though victorious, Miraak’s final words—hinting at a greater darkness—linger, leaving the Guardians haunted by uncertainty and an impending sense of doom. The Flame remains protected, but shadows linger, watching, waiting for their chance to return.
