Synopsis

Pity the beastkin. Ever beholden to their demonic lineage, their struggle to earn a seat beside Humanity sees no end. As the Sancrésant Civil War draws to a close and the mage nobility lick their wounds and draw new borders, new warriors and adventurers carve their names into the annals of history.

Aliya the Lightbringer builds a new home for her kin in the frozen north. Surrounded by both domestic and foreign threats, she treads the treacherous path of a newly appointed ruler and as an enforcer for the Church’s most mysterious sect.

Homura Ozuma, the Lion’s Daughter, embarks on a bloody quest for vengeance against those who betrayed her adoptive father. But such a long and twisted path will affect far more than just the fates of her targets.

And in the far south, a young slave from a forgotten race prays for salvation. But her merciless deliverer brings far more than just the hatred for a cruel world’s injustices.

The lore is based off of an RPG system I developed a few years ago. My love letter to Bloodborne.

Thank you to Claudia G. for her help as an editor.
