In the world of Vantor, survival isn’t just a struggle; it’s a merciless test. Shattered by an ancient divine war known as the Shattering of Vantor, the land is scarred by unstable magic and treacherous landscapes. Out of the remnants of this conflict, Aether—a volatile, magical energy—was born, seeping into every corner of Vantor and giving rise to the Awakened, individuals granted incredible powers but forced to bear the heavy risks that come with wielding such forces.
Vantor is not united; it’s fractured into isolated societies, each battling for control over scarce resources and Aether-rich territories. Among them is the Sovereignty of Althear, a militarized city-state, thriving around one of the few stable Aether Wells left in the world. Here, the ruling Awakened elite have built a society dominated by magic, but their control is constantly challenged by corrupt officials, dangerous factions, and the ever-growing rift between the powerful and powerless.
