The Inuki Clan is one of the oldest surviving human lineages on Vescrutia, tracing their ancestry directly to the people of Ancient Vorelia. For nearly five millennia they have served as the world's foremost bulwark against the horrors of the Demon Realm, (otherwise known as Acheron), and have ...

Then, the doors of the Grand Chamber groaned open.

It wasn’t the arrival of a herald ...

From the skies he tore his way down in a violet blaze, a streak of stormfire that split the clouds and sent banners snapping against their poles. The glow clung to him as he touched stone, purples and golds dancing across his frame, casting long shadows that wavered like flames along the Hall’s ...
