The gods long ago sealed themselves behind the divine gate to protect the world from another Calamity as happened when they fought the betrayers on the surface of Exandria. Now only a trickle of their power can flow through. Nevertheless, the echoes of those days still ring out, affecting the course of events. An ancient artifact is stolen from it's draconic protector, a corruption spreads through once peaceful woods, a blood curse of unknown origin is spread forcing the afflicted to commit acts that only drive them further towards some unknown purpose. Now events are unfolding that will leave echoes of their own across the face of Exandria, for good or for ill. The actions of Gust, Kara, Orion, and Urilar will shape which future it shall be.
