"Gods, mortals, monsters-in the end, we are all bound by the same story. The question is only what role we choose to play."

Note
Marael's defection to the resistance after two centuries of war was a pivotal moment. His cosmic knowledge and power have enabled breakthroughs previously thought impossible.
The Tragic Heart
At the center of Arcania's war is a family torn apart by love, loss, and betrayal:
- Anias died because a mortal feared losing love
- Alassa fell because a mortal betrayed her trust
- Erion fights because he promised his dying mother
- Marael raged because he lost everything he built
The war is cosmic in scale, but personal in origin. Understanding the characters means understanding why everything else happened.
