Look. We get it. No one asked for Morlin Valcyne's tragic backstory. Unfortunately, it's kind of important to the context of the campaign, so, here we are. Well over a century before the events of Episode 1, the Astrarian military fights a losing war against invaders from Vog Voldhur. Battles are fought. Blood is spilled. Nora does her best to keep it together. Elasha tries to prove herself. Adhana guards a secret that could change everything. And through it all, two brothers struggle to reconcile the closeness of their past with the grim reality of their futures pulling them further and further apart.

With the fate of Astraria and the known world hanging in the balance, our heroes must take a stand against the biggest, baddest monster they've ever faced - their own flesh and blood. Phi tries to function in a broken world. Leo struggles with the reality of his birthright. Morlin shows just how much he's willing to sacrifice in the name of power. Kimryl and Kiva, as always, have an agenda of their own. No more waiting, no more scheming, no more running - it all ends here.

It's down to the wire, and our heroes are left in their stickiest situation yet. Stranded on Loex Tolgalen with no backup, no plan, and no way out, Leoril and Phirora can only watch as the Astrarian Navy, headed up by Morlin Valcyne, approaches with the intent to squash every last chance that his children have at victory. Lorelei makes her brother proud. Leo tries to protect people who may or may not want his protection. Phi takes a stand. Elasha makes a choice.

no person is an island?an island is a person.a person is an islandon an islandthat's a person.an island that's a person is a person slowly burning.

to make island of a person,isolate and make uncertain.to make person of an island,stay so long your presence turns twin.an island's soul grows slowly but quite surely if you're fervent.

the island-person's version of the world is heavy-curtained-her voice rings back in echo only hers, despite the yearning.the island that's a person has no voice to be returning.

an island that's a person may be marked by centuries' hurting,if the person-island's self's an island-person in recursion.a person-island turned from life to death is made perversion.

an island-person might feel near at home, given years' turning,on a person-island hidden from world's eye and from her kin.her person-hood might find an island hole to be interred in.

a person-island burned might learn futility in cursing,but an island-person presence might wake rage anew and churning.an island-person cursed with person-island's heavy burden._Nasper Orion
