When belief is a city’s shield, doubt becomes its deadliest weapon.

Quarismia, a city forged from centuries of faith, faces an enemy that doesn’t just strike its walls—they unravel the very truths that hold them together. As the Khanate’s war drums grow louder, whispers of doubt spread through the streets like a poison, teaching stone and mortar to forget their strength.

A general rallies his soldiers, demanding they remember the city’s unshakable purpose. An Aetheric master races to patch the unraveling threads of reality. But as betrayal festers within and fear takes hold, the walls falter, no longer unbreakable, but merely stone.

In the desert camp beyond, the Shadow Khan watches with quiet satisfaction as the seeds of ruin bloom. For in this battle, it’s not swords or siege engines that will decide the outcome—it’s which side can convince reality of its truth.

This is where the battle begins, but the war for Quarismia’s soul has already started.
