What Happened?
This is Evaria, a world once flowing with a magic called Aether. A cataclysmic event hundreds of years ago wiped out most of the Aether in the world, and the mages that could wield it. The remaining Aether and mages slowly dwindled until today many think of them as just a legend. Without Aether the people developed technology of gears and steam, all powered by a newly discovered ore called "Umber".
A brutal war has ripped the country of Vanmere apart. Two factory workers, Molly and Henry, journey through the war torn countryside to help an eccentric stranger they encounter named Victor. He introduces them to Elizabeth, a young girl who is one of the last mages with true power in the world. Together they learn about an ancient seal that holds back a long forgotten evil. But as the Aether of the world has faded so has the seal's power until it finally breaks, unleashing the darkness within.
Now the group must build their party, unite the factions of their country, and uncover the secret history of their world before it's too late…
