A thousand years have bled from the wound upon the world of Aerith. The Sundering, a cataclysmic event wrought by magic and arrogance, shattered the land, sending mankind tumbling from the pinnacle of a glorious kingdom back towards the primal struggles of survival. Yet, from the ashes of devastation, scattered nations have risen, clinging to the fractured remnants of a forgotten age.
Whispers of the past echo on the wind – tales of potent magic wielded with reckless abandon, bitter wars fueled by racial prejudice, and the ultimate folly that tore the continent asunder. These stories serve as both a haunting reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink and a flickering spark of inspiration, a beacon urging the rebuilding of a brighter future.
Aerith now stands as a tapestry woven from resilience and fragments of a glorious past. Scattered across the land lie the whispers of forgotten glory – treasures buried deep within ancient ruins, artifacts of immense power hidden in treacherous mountain peaks, and perhaps even remnants of legendary beings slumbering in forgotten corners of the world. To the intrepid few who yearn to answer the siren song of a lost era, Aerith promises not just personal gain, but the potential to usher in Aerith's ultimate redemption.
But the path to glory is fraught with peril. Unstable magic lingers in the scarred landscape, a legacy of the past that can entice or obliterate the unwary. Powerful factions guard their secrets fiercely, unwilling to share in the spoils of the past. And the wounds of the Sundering itself have not fully healed – the echoes of old hatreds simmer beneath the surface, threatening to erupt anew.
This is the world of Aerith – a land scarred by war, haunted by the ghosts of magic misused, and yearning for a redemption that may only be achieved by those brave enough to face the challenges that lie ahead. Welcome, adventurer. Will you answer the call and rewrite the song of Aerith?
