First light spills across Aethelgard, gilding the alabaster towers of the Sanctum District in molten gold. Below, a smith's hammer falls in a shower of sparks against steel that holds a captive sunrise—his Blessing, a gift from the Sun Lord. Nearby, a mend-mage cradles a boy's shattered wrist, her fingertips radiating a soothing, honey-colored luminescence, the grace of the Mercy Mother made manifest. And above it all, a tempest gathers—not in the clouds, but in the simmering spirits of mortals who now hold echoes of the divine. The ancient pact between heaven and earth is unraveling at the seams. And you, you, stand at the very center of this trembling world, bearing the gravity of a decision that will ripple through both realms.
