The Saga
The Unfinished Book
Before the Blank Age, the world was written into the Unfinished Book, one runic slab at a time. When the Ashen Eclipse tore the Shadow Rift open, a thousand years went missing from every archive. The Book is still out there, still being written, and some of its pages are blank.
You are a Gatecrasher: a silent foundling raised in the Realm Gate Citadel, holding a Slab no one can read. The road ahead runs through four realms and a great many duels. What you find there is yours to discover.
The Trinity Core
Every living thing is held in balance by three parts of one core.
Mind
Memory, dream and the quiet voice that decides.
Body
Strength, growth and the warmth of a hand.
Machina
Craft, motion and the spark inside every engine.
The Four Realms
Mythic Peaks
Cloud-high kingdoms of knights, monks and myths, ruled by Arthur, King of Britons. Season 1 begins here.
Ironclad Wastes
Furnace towns and rust storms, where the Foundry Compact builds war machines out of scrap and stubbornness.
Arcane Weald
An old forest that sings. The Elven Conclave guards the Elder Bough, and the World-Serpent is poisoning its roots.
Mecha Slums
Neon streets under the Shadow Rift, where racing pilots, hackers and the Lattice keep the lights on.
The Realm Gate Citadel
The Citadel stands where the four realms meet, and every gate in the world is said to open from its courtyard. Grand Master Vex rules there, keeping the gates, the archives and the peace, in that order. He believes the Blank Slab is the key to the Blank Age. He is not the only one.
The Twelve Chairs
The Citadel lists eleven First Manipulators. The old foundations hold twelve chairs.
