Bavrashka, a continent created by the gods.

The Royal Cept Academy stands at the heart of it all – a school where students, called Cepters, learn to harness the energy of ancient stone tablets called “Culds,” which are pieces of the original Culdcept.

Amid battles that threaten the continent, the power of a Cepter begins to awaken.
