The Story

Ancient planar rifts have fractured reality, and the rifts have begun to spill out into the world of men. According to the Book of Agathon, only a chosen warrior can stand against the coming rupture. The Dragonkin — survivors of an ancient race nigh extinguished by the Great Dragon — were tasked long ago with guarding these rifts. Their guardian was Agathon, the Dragon’s final seed, who along with his brother Balor preserved their kin from extinction.

Agathon’s Champion was Lythira, the greatest of all Dragonkin. To contain the rift, Lythira merged her spirit with the Fractured Planes themselves. The act gave her sight of past, present, and future all at once — yet there was one thing she could not perceive, and the absence of it broke her mind. Now, what remains of Lythira haunts the deepest layers of the Planes as the Oracle of Doom.

The story plays out across ten quests told through four named arcs, guided by:

Father Fidelis — the Kingshill priest who reads the Book of Agathon’s prophecy and sets your path.
Aurelion — a Dragonkin scholar who appears at the Catacombs and Kingshill. Stationed at the Planar Fissure as the Grand Magus, she runs the Chronos Coin shop and leads Chapters 1 and 2.
Kael — Aurelion’s Dragonkin brethren and a scholar in his own right. Marked as the Stability Mage, he
leads Chapters 3 and 4 and tracks your leaderboard rank.
Lythira — Agathon’s Champion, now the boss of the Fractured Planes’ tenth, twentieth, thirtieth (and so on) floors.
