Some 400 years ago, The Great Divide caused the world of Aetheria to be gripped in the claws of war for decades – a war fought between Aetherians, those with an innate connection and ability to manipulate the life-force of the planet known as Aether, and Hominians, those without such a connection, with countless casualties on both sides. Following the Hominian victory of the war, Aether manipulation was forbidden across the world. On the continent of Isamica, the Hominian victory gave rise to three great kindgoms: the now-fading kingdom of Dasurem in the southwest, the industrialized kingdom of Kobert in the north, and the prosperous kingdom of Avican in the southeast.

Now, the established Hominian kingdoms are turned upside down when Roshan, a young Hominian scout from Dasurem, breaks his guardsman’s oath by saving Lu’khael, a rogue Aetherian, from being captured by Kobertian soldiers for his use of dangerous and forbidden Aetheric manipulation. The unexpected pair find themselves caught in the middle of a struggle to not only uncover the truth of the war that split their society apart but to reunite the two opposing sides in harmony.
