About this story
When a Great House falls, chaos follows.
Rowan watched as a betrayal from within destroyed everything he’d ever known, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His home burned as an Archdemon ravaged their lands, summoned into the very seat of their power by forces unknown. Unawakened—without access to the System and its boons—Rowan was left as the only survivor of a magical lineage spanning millennia.
Resigned to a life of obscurity and bitterness, he could only watch as the other Great Houses carved up their lands and fought over the carcass that was once his home. Yet in the end, that obscurity saved him.
On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened.
Granted a [Trait] of unknown power, a [Title] of unimaginable weight, and an [Item] of untold worth, he leaves the dangerous north and takes the first step on his Path. But even on the other side of the Kingdom, the echoes of his past linger. The passes his family defended were left unguarded for too long. And now, the ever encroaching Wilds threaten more than just the north.
Follow Rowan’s story as he attempts to master his magic, fight against the largest monster surge in generations, and hopefully, uncover the truth behind the fall of his House.
