War darkens the skies of Agarest.
Not a simple war between mortals, easily ended by divine intervention, but a war that divided the gods themselves.
Armies the likes of which the world had never seen before, and would never see again, clashed across the skies of Agarest, across its surface, and even in the caverns that snaked within.
As is the case in war, many died on both sides, gods and mortals, and the war left Agarest broken, blackened, and dead.
The gods wept for their paradise and, in a final act of creation, sacrificed themselves to bring its charred, twisted surface back to life.
Born into this world perched unknowingly on the brink of apocalypse, a young man named Leonhardt and his descendants are Agarest's last and best hope.
Their journey will span generations and continents as they strive to bring peace to their beleaguered world, even at the cost of their own souls.
