The Flameborn Legacy
Before the world bore names, before the sky held stars, there was flame. Not the fire of hearth or war, but the First Flame — a living force that breathed life into the stone, wind, and sea. From that fire came balance… and from balance, ruin. The age of Emberwake began with wonder but was soon consumed by greed, as kings, sorcerers, and gods vied for control over its eternal light.
In the wake of their arrogance, the world cracked. The skies wept molten rain, oceans boiled into silence, and cities turned to ash. What followed was known as the Sundering — an age of darkness where hope flickered like a dying ember. And yet, from this ruin, a few souls endured. Touched by the last heartbeat of the Flame, they were reborn with power unimaginable. These were the first Flameborn — warriors, sages, rebels… and monsters.
You are the last of that lineage. Raised in the shadow of lost empires, marked by a sigil that burns just beneath your skin, you’ve always felt it — a pulse in the ground, a whisper in the wind, a pull toward forgotten ruins and stories no one dares to speak aloud. The elders called it madness. The scholars, prophecy. The tyrants who now rule the fractured lands see you as a threat… or a weapon to be claimed.
But Emberwake is stirring again. Sealed chambers once thought cursed now glow with emberlight. Beasts long extinct walk the edges of broken forests. The Order of Hollow Flame rises in secret, and rumors speak of a second Sundering — greater, crueler, final. Whether you fight for vengeance, for redemption, or for the truth buried beneath centuries of silence, know this: every choice will shape the fate of the realm. The world does not need a hero — it needs fire. And you... are the spark.
