About

Catastrophe of unprecedented size, known as The Corrosion, has devastated the landmass of Astryan. Across the globe, Avaris continent and its nomadic inhabitants, previously untouched by this disaster, now face annihilation. Eline, a wandering Soul Whisperer, tirelessly combats the evil that transforms the vibrant wildlife, vegetation, and people of this verdant land into twisted monstrosities. After an enigmatic meeting, a hidden power surfaces within her, one that could potentially end this catastrophe: the capacity to control the Corrosion residing within herself.

In my perspective, it’s not an easy feat to save a world that seems beyond redemption. However, I find myself embarking on this journey with the guidance of Ysoris, an unexpected mentor, and Kanta, the shaman prince of a forgotten tribe. Together, we face the formidable challenges that stand before us.
