In the shadow of a prince's betrayal, a kingdom falls.
Eldrick, poised for glory as the Elf Prince and heir, veered tragically into darkness, captivated by the forbidden allure of dark tillium, the most potent of elven magic. His relentless pursuit of dominance not only estranged him from his royal lineage but also transformed him into the catalyst of his realm's despair. This profound betrayal shattered the familial bonds at the kingdom's heart, inflicting scars that reached far beyond the throne. Through his actions, Eldrick gave rise to the Elden,a faction of elves lured by the allure of power, wreaking havoc and instilling fear across the kingdom.

They stand not only against the tangible threat of their brother's making but also against the widespread shadow that threatens to engulf their realm. Their journey is fraught with challenges as they strive to mend a world torn apart by betrayal and war.
