A millennia after the Great Cataclysm that forever scarred Aeligord, the world stands at another critical juncture. The blue rings that encircle the planet have begun to shimmer with unusual intensity, and both moons—Vodala and Dione—have entered rare alignment patterns not seen since ancient times. Scholars, artificers, and mystics across the continents have recorded increasingly frequent magical anomalies, while druids report nature itself growing restless. Something fundamental to Aeligord's metaphysical balance is shifting.

In Nysonia's bustling port city of Harbour Bay, the renowned artificer Thaddeus Cogsworth has assembled a team (your party) to investigate a series of seemingly unrelated phenomena that he believes are connected to a greater threat. His research into ancient documents suggests that the Cataclysm that nearly destroyed civilization three thousand years ago wasn't a singular event, but part of a cycle—one that may be beginning anew.
