A Fallen Land

Ruin’s Dawn

In a world shattered by decades of civil strife, young healer Mara Silversong awakens to the smoldering remnants of her once-prosperous homeland. The air still carries the acrid scent of burning timber, and the horizon is stained with the faint glow of distant fires. Tasked with tending to survivors in a makeshift infirmary, Mara soon realizes that her gifts for mending flesh and spirit may be the only hope for scattered communities teetering on the brink of despair. Yet as she ventures beyond the broken walls of her village, she uncovers whispers of darker forces at play—an insidious power rising from the ashes to claim dominion over the Fallen Land.

Echoes of Rebellion

Drawn into an underground network of rebels determined to restore balance, Mara encounters a diverse band of outcasts: a stoic swordsman haunted by ghosts of his past, a fierce archer whose arrows strike as swiftly as her convictions, and a scholar obsessed with ancient lore. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across shattered landscapes—through forests twisted by dark magic, over crumbling bridges suspended above abyssal chasms, and into subterranean caverns where the earth itself seems to mourn its own undoing. Every step forward unearths hidden betrayals, testing their fragile alliances and forcing Mara to question whom she can truly trust.

The Heart of Ashes

As the final battle draws near, Mara must confront the malevolent entity known only as the Pyre Lord, whose command over flame threatens to consume both body and soul. In the heart of a long-forgotten citadel, amid scorched altars and collapsing spires, she discovers the true price of sacrifice—and the extraordinary power of hope. Bound by newfound friendships and driven by a purpose greater than herself, Mara faces her destiny in a climactic confrontation that will determine whether the Fallen Land is doomed to eternal ruin or reborn in the light of redemption.
