Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

The gate was never meant to remain open, and now an entire world is paying the price. When Bryn, Dahlfia, and their team arrive on Baliya Island, they discover a humanitarian catastrophe beyond anything they imagined. Thousands of frightened humans continue pouring onto Anturia while disease, starvation, and violence spread faster than anyone can contain. Every decision they make costs lives, and every minute matters.

As the race to stop the Porta Segreta begins, an unsettling discovery inside the off-world technology reveals the crisis may not have been an accident at all, raising terrifying questions about what this machine was truly designed to do. Some doors should never have been opened, and others should never have been built.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

War may be over, but peace is another matter entirely. As Teithia begins the long process of healing, Bryn and Dahlfia struggle to rebuild lives forever changed by the battle. But unanswered questions surrounding the attack refuse to stay buried, and disturbing new evidence suggests the enemy knew far more than anyone believed.

Old secrets finally come into the light, and new leadership rises. As Landoris celebrates the beginning of a united future, a revelation from beyond its borders threatens to change Anturia forever. Sometimes the ground beneath your feet feels solid and stable, right before it gives way.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Victory demands payment. As the battle for Teithia finally begins to turn, Bryn leaves the safety of the command post to search for the one person she cannot afford to lose, Dahlfia. But the city she enters is no longer a battlefield; it is a graveyard.

As enemy forces strike from the shadows and familiar streets become killing grounds, an unexpected form of salvation arrives. Old allies face final reckonings, and long-buried truths surface. Questions surrounding the war grow larger instead of smaller. And as the dust settles over Teithia, a new figure steps forward to make demands no one is prepared to hear. Because some victories do not end a war. They only reveal the next one.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Legends are not born in peace. As the battle for Teithia rages across streets, courtyards, and shattered strongholds, Kylah finds herself at the center of the chaos. Outnumbered, wounded, and driven by equal parts fury and determination, she becomes something more than a soldier in the eyes of those around her: a symbol. A story already takes shape before the battle is even over.

But while victories are won in one part of the city, confusion spreads in another, and the reports clash. Every decision carries consequences that may not be understood until it is far too late. As allies struggle to hold the city together and the cost of war keeps rising, a single question begins to echo through the transmissions: Where is Dahlfia?

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

The first breach is only the beginning. As Bryn’s forces launch their attack to retake Teithia, the plan appears to be working. Gates fall. Armies move. Hidden tunnels open beneath the city. For one breath, victory feels possible, but in war, every advantage can become a trap.

As transmissions fracture and forces collide across multiple fronts, Bryn must command from the center of chaos while every voice in her mind carries new danger. Kylah moves through the tunnels. Gaffdyn advances from the north. Myr pushes from the south. Dahlfia enters the darkness beneath Teithia. And then something goes wrong. What began as a coordinated strike becomes a battle against confusion, ambush, and the terrible cost of divided command. Because once the first breach opens, there may be no way to control what comes through it.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Before wars are won, someone has to make the first move. As the survivors of Landoris prepare to strike back against Mallaidh’s forces in Teithia, Bryn and the remaining councilors race against time to organize a desperate plan to reclaim the city before their advantage disappears. Armies gather in Graywood, and alliances are tested. Every decision carries the weight of lives that may never return home.

But while leaders debate strategy above ground, others move through shadows, tunnels, and forgotten paths beneath the city itself, where one wrong step could destroy everything before the battle even begins. As old loyalties harden into open resistance, the fight for Teithia is no longer a question of if, only how much it will cost.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Some storms can be seen long before they arrive. Other storms are already upon you before you understand what they are. As forces begin to shift across Anturia, what once felt distant now moves with undeniable purpose. Old alliances are tested, while new threats emerge. The fragile balance holding everything together begins to fracture.

For Kylah and those bound to the choices already made, the question is no longer whether conflict will come, only when and who will still be standing when it does. As paths converge and the weight of everything set in motion comes into focus, one truth becomes impossible to ignore. None of them can go back.

What lies ahead will demand more than survival; it will demand everything. Here, the pieces begin to align, and quiet tensions give way to open conflict. The future of Anturia shifts, whether they are ready or not. Season Two concludes as the storm finally begins to break, setting the stage for what comes next.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

In Alltud, nothing is forgotten, and nothing is judged lightly. After the trial in the desert, Kylah returns to a community that sees more than she expected and understands more than it reveals. Here, survival is not the end of the story. It is only the beginning of what comes next.

As questions of justice, choice, and consequence rise to the surface, Kylah must confront the deeper truths that shape Alltud itself. Who decides what a person deserves? What makes someone worthy of belonging? And what separates punishment from purpose?

But in a place built by outcasts, criminals, and those who refused the paths set before them, the answers are not simple and not offered freely. Alltud is where survival becomes meaning and judgment gives way to perspective. Now, Kylah begins to see the world and herself through a different lens.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Not every victory feels like one. In the unforgiving expanse of the Plains of Du’Roi, Kylah follows a trail that leads her to the one confrontation she cannot avoid. What began as training has become something far more final. Out in the midst of the desert, there are no witnesses, rules, or second chances.

When the moment comes, what stands before her is not the enemy she expected. What she is asked to do is not as simple as survival. The line between hunter and hunted dissolves. Kylah is forced to confront a truth: strength isn’t always measured by the ability to kill, and mercy isn’t always an act of kindness.

Some choices do not feel like victory; they feel like loss.

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Not all who wander the desert are meant to survive it while others are meant to be changed by it. As Kylah’s journey through the Plains of Du’Roi pushes her beyond the limits of endurance, she finds herself on the edge of something she cannot explain, caught between pain and peace, reality and something far less certain.

Drawn toward water where none should exist, she encounters a presence unlike anything she has known. The presence is ancient and waiting for her. This place is not a simple refuge, and the being that resides there is no ordinary being. As questions surface and answers remain just out of reach, Kylah must accept that not everything in this world can be understood. And not everything is meant to be.
