Prequels
Asharion: The Ashen Crown
Centuries before the main saga, during the second Era of Emberfall, the Asharion lived in harmony beneath the flaming wings of their sacred phoenixes. But when a young heir ascends the Ashen Crown, a fate far darker than any faced by his predecessors begins to unfold. As ancient forces stir, the new king must confront a destiny that threatens both his lineage and the blazing kingdom he was meant to protect.
Asharion: The Night of the Flaming Wings
When the united kingdoms of Rivinel came to fear the power of the Asharion and their divine phoenixes, they forged a single purpose: eradication.

On that night, the Asharion were slaughtered without mercy, ending an ancient lineage and extinguishing a civilization built on fire and light.
Origins
Rathvalera: Dawn Before the Fall
Before the rise of kingdoms and the shaping of Rivinel, the Valthanars, the divine creators, sought to forge a world untouched by corruption. Their vision was a realm of purity, harmony, and eternal light. But in breaking the balance that governed all life, they unknowingly awakened something far more ancient than themselves. From the void of imbalance, darkness took form, giving birth to the first shadowborn creatures. This is the dawn before the fall, the moment creation cracked, and the fate of every age was sealed.
Rathvalera: The Birth of the First Shadow
Velkenor, once a Valthanar of divine creation, succumbs entirely to the darkness awakened at the dawn of the world. Now reborn as the First Shadow, he bends every shadowborn creature to his will and unleashes a tide of corruption across all of Nirya. As his dominion spreads and the world trembles under his rising empire, the gods themselves are forced to return, igniting the Divine War, a last stand to reclaim everything Velkenor has shattered.
