Synopsis
In the mystical realm of Elyndra, an ancient prophecy foretells the coming of a child born beneath a fallen star—a savior destined to unite warring kingdoms or plunge them into eternal ruin. On a night of celestial fire, a golden-haired infant, Caelen Thorns, is found wrapped in radiant cloth, his arrival heralded by visions of gods and the shattering of the heavens. Raised in the quiet village of Aeloria, Caelen’s life changes when word of his birth reaches Polaris, the northern capital. Guided by his parents, he journeys across snowbound lands to be received by Duke Alaric, ruler of the North, and Braten, the once-legendary commander known as the Blade of Polaris. Their solemn welcome in the city’s great gates marks the beginning of a destiny greater than any could imagine. Within the marble halls of Polaris’s grand cathedral, a priest of the old order lays eyes upon the boy and is struck by a divine vision—Caelen wielding a sword forged by the Supreme God, leading armies beneath a fractured sky. The vision leaves him trembling, his faith unshakably bound to the child. As years pass, Elyndra prepares for the grand Festival of Moons, a celebration of peace and unity. The streets of Polaris glow with lanterns, music, and laughter. Yet beneath the joy, shadows gather. Political intrigue coils through the courts, unseen enemies weave their plots, and distant powers watch the boy’s every move. When the festival’s final night brings an omen of darkness, Caelen’s path toward his foretold fate begins in earnest—one that will test loyalty, love, and the very will of the gods.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Fallen Star

In a world forged by swords and sculpted by magic, where monstrous beasts roamed free and ancient races carved kingdoms from stone and flame, the Kingdom of Luna thrived quietly on the edge of legend.

Elves danced beneath silver leaves in enchanted forests. Dwarves mined deep into the heart of mountains, forging weapons that could pierce the heavens. Demons brooded in obsidian fortresses, and beastfolk tribes hunted under twin suns with claws as sharp as their instincts. The world was vast, beautiful—and perilous.

Among all this splendor and chaos, nestled in the humble outskirts of Luna's outer village, lived a simple couple: Lucy, a soft-spoken herbalist, and Braten Thorns, a former high ranking Knight turned farmer. Their lives were quiet, marked by small joys and the rhythm of the seasons. They had little, but they had each other—and soon, they would have something more.

It was the 121st year of the Aurigae Age, on the 21st day of Sunspire month , when the sky defied all understanding.

That night, the stars themselves stirred.

One by one, they began to move—swiftly, unnaturally—as if guided by some unseen hand. The moons, too, broke from their orbits and spun across the heavens in perfect harmony. A radiant pillar of light burst from the sky and descended like a spear, striking the earth in a distant land with a boom that echoed across mountains and seas.

And in that exact moment, within the walls of a small wooden cottage, a cry pierced the air.

Lucy had given birth.

The child, a boy wrapped in cloth and cradled in his mother's trembling arms, opened his eyes—and the world shuddered.

Across continents, those attuned to the weave of magic felt it like a shockwave in their soul.

All the Monsters felt fear started trembling.

The High Priestess of the Elven Dominion collapsed in her temple, whispering, "A star has fallen…"

In the deepest mines, the Dwarven King dropped his hammer, eyes wide with ancient fear.

Even the mighty dragons, slumbering beneath the earth and in hidden valleys, stirred from their centuries-long sleep and turned their eyes toward Luna.

This child, this infant born beneath the converging heavens, was not ordinary.

He was a sign.

A harbinger.

A possibility.

And though none could yet say whether he would rise as the world's savior or fall as its doom, all knew one truth:

Something powerful had entered the world.
