In the world of Aetheryon, twelve great nations ruled with blood and iron. They were united by a single unwritten law: the weak would be cast out, the strong would endure.
Yet from ruin and the ashes of war, a child was born, nameless, orphaned, exiled, acknowledged by no land.
Until one night in a snow-laden forest, a white-winged tiger, a mythological creature born of earth and sky, found him and gave him a name: Ravindra Kael Maharka.
Guided by the divine beast, Ravindra grew into someone hard, cunning, and ruthless, not to become a hero, but to build a throne from the ashes of the old world.
He gathered the forgotten: slaves, traitors, prisoners, and minor nations erased from history.
They swore an oath beneath a single banner:
"We who were cast out by the earth shall conquer the heavens."
From vengeance was born the Varuna Astra Legion, and from blood arose the Empire of the Castaways, a new kingdom that shook the twelve hegemons of the world.
There is no righteousness. There is no evil.
Only power and the will to survive.
