A Fractured Balance
A Shroud Undone
(Volume I)
Over a thousand years of war.
A sacred light built on a lie.
The Mountain Temple has been fought over for generations. Above it burns the Stillight, a red-and-gold spiral worshipped as divine and blamed for an endless war.
Every soldier believes the light demands sacrifice.
They are wrong.
Theron survives by helping others, feeding a village to atone for the role he once played in the conflict.
Nyra leads the Sylphar legions without mercy. Victory is all she allows.
When battle returns to the Temple, they meet beneath six empty thrones—remnants of dead gods.
One seeks redemption.
The other seeks freedom.
The truth behind the Stillight could end the war.
Or destroy what remains of the world.
Where Light Fails and Will Endures
The world of A Shroud Undone stands on the edge of exhaustion.
For generations, humanity has lived under the quiet glow of the Stillight, a sacred and ancient radiance said to be the last gift of a forgotten age. It shines from the Temple at the heart of the known world, a place of worship, power, and unanswered questions.
Beyond the reach of the Temple’s influence, the war never truly ends. It grinds across borders and centuries, shaping lands, faiths, and entire bloodlines. Cities rise behind fortified walls, and children are raised on stories of sacrifice. Survival is not victory. It is simply another borrowed year.
Not all who endure this world are human.
Across deep forests, high ridgelines, and the unknown places in the north, the Sylphar reside. Older than most written histories, they fight the humans for control of the Stillight. Some say they are guardians of the natural world. Others believe they are simply waiting, watching the slow unraveling of a struggle they never chose but can never fully escape.
Faith binds the world together as tightly as fear. History teaches that the Stillight protects, that duty is sacred, and that the war is both a burden and a calling. But as the years stretch on and the cost grows heavier, more people begin to wonder whether the light they depend on is truly salvation… or something far more complicated.
In this world, hope is stubborn, truth is buried, and survival demands more than courage. It demands change.
