Emberwood Vale
An ancient forest of ember-leaved giants — and something has set its heart burning. Put out the Heart-Fire, befriend Bramble the treant sapling and Old Mother Brambleheart, and claim the shard growing in the Mother Tree's heart.
A star fell. Four shards scattered. One dragon waits.
For a thousand years the Star of Vaelthorne hung above the realm, and its light kept the dark between the stars at bay. Then, in a single night, it shattered — and its four shards fell into the wild corners of the world.
Your party follows the falling light across burning forests, drowned libraries, islands in the sky, and a forge at the heart of a volcano. Every shard is guarded — but not every guardian is an enemy. Many of Vaelthorne's creatures can be befriended instead of fought, and the friends you make will stand with you at the end.
Because at the end waits Vaelgorath, the Hollow Star Dragon, who held that dying star in his chest for a thousand years — and how your story finishes depends on who stands beside you when you meet him.
Four shards, four corners of the realm
Each location holds one piece of the fallen star — and a creature whose friendship may matter more than any sword.
The Drowned Archive of Thaldris
A sunken marble library under turquoise water, where the shard sleeps in the flooded Index Vault. Its keeper, Nerissa the Tide Serpent, wants no gold — only a story she has never heard. Tell her a good one.
The Skybound Isles of Zephyra
Floating islands joined by rope bridges, waterfalls pouring into cloud. Win the Grand Sky Regatta and the trust of Skye the griffon — win the sky, and you'll have wings at your side when it matters most.
The Cindervault Forge
A molten forge-city inside a volcano, home to rival smith-clans. Unite them to build the Second Hearth — the only forge in the realm hot enough to make the four shards one star again.
