The Fall of Drakkenheim

The city fell in fire. What remains hungers.

Fifteen years ago, a falling star shattered the capital of Westemär.
The impact split towers, poisoned the air, and birthed strange crystalline growths known as delerium.

Now the ruins lie beneath a violet haze.

Monsters prowl where nobles once walked.
Factions maneuver in the shadows.
Faith flickers.
Steel dulls.
Ambition sharpens.

And six souls have stepped into the wreckage.
