Dawn breaks over Aethelgard City, its light spilling across a labyrinth of streets where the clank of steam pistons competes with the chime of temple bells. For two thousand years, the Aethelgard Empire has held Veridia in its grasp, its authority cemented by conquest and the enslavement of those who channel magic. From the polished flagstones of the capital to the deep mines of Novus Aethel, a world of possibility and peril awaits your word. Will you command from the Onyx Throne, struggle in the undercity's gloom, or blaze a trail through this age of smoke and steel?
