Dragon magic has faded from the lands of the Seven Kingdoms and the power they exercised over the elements has failed. Already Terum has reverted back to being covered by volcanic ash and great storms destroy ships and palaces alike all over the largest continent.

The King and Queen have no choice but to send him to the border under the command of his older brother. There he can work out his issues while defending his country against all kinds of creatures, both men and other of a less savory sort. Before he can assume his new post, he is attacked by a magical assassin, placing him in a coma. The Nightmare Spell used is a terrible fate and most die within a week of being plunged into their own worst fears, losing the will to live quickly.

In the year 1408, in the lands of Enabladoor, upon the sister planet to Earth-Solestia, the bloodied, massacred bodies of soldiers- both attackers and defenders- lay upon the grassy slope afoot the castle Magniforte. Our story begins almost 1400 years earlier upon the very same land upon the very same planet as unwittingly the inhabitants go about their daily lives. Descending from the coastal regions of the North, the nomadic hunting and gathering people known as the Axeons arrive for their once in a century hunt, for the giant Cent-terrapin turtle of Ocean’s Deep. The highly prized, dinosaur sized, mystical creatures come ashore to lay their eggs in the sand at night, on a full moon once every 100 years; providing only a very small window for the hunt. Following in their wake and in search of the Axeon boy Neptune and the Oceanic Trident of power, two recently pirated black galleons, one of which is carrying the tribal witch Absysiam, lurk ominously upon the horizon. Meanwhile inland a simple farming woman flees with her children from her burnt out home, following the savage revenge attack by ghosts of her past. And in the partially snow coveredReptilight Mountains to the North and the parched, sandy Great Desert to the East, men of the land hunt their prey for survival. It is at this time when a great star known as the Fulcrum Star from a circle of five of these glowing beacons, located in deep space and responsible for balancing the universe, is lost by the gods and arrives in a solidified state to the planet. In a dazzling show of both colourful light and incredible sound the fallen star separates into seven individual crystal pieces and crashes to the surface. The fall of the star causes a loss of equilibrium and “Balance is Disturbed” throughout the universe. With the balance disturbed the gods summon from the deepest recesses of the universe, a collective of forces both good and evil to temporarily maintain the balance until the crystals can be collected and the star restored. Using these powerful forces they create two beings, Lord Dark-sky, bringer of darkness and all that is evil, and Sir ZandicoreSolatore, the wizard of white light and kindness. With the arrival and disposition of the seven powerful crystals the ultimate fight between good and evil is set to be played out.

During the confrontation the goddess was ambushed and her consciousness was shattered into a thousand pieces to be scattered through her galactic body. Now, the last vestige of her awareness hides on the isolated world of Dragonsbreath as she tries vainly to recover. The fallen-angels have arrived on Dragonsbreath and as they harvest the souls of the population, some actively seek Syalonis. As the goddess hides, she urges her reluctant saviour, Tan, to flee the advance of the fallen. Angel of Rage Tan has been warned by his guard daughter of the presence of the fallen-angels. It is vital that he escape from the advance of the fallen but he remains oblivious to their presence. After his companions witness the fall of several cities and he sees the devastation of one city with his own eyes he finally starts to understand that something is amiss.
