The Kingdom of Aeridor
The world began in the Age of Harmony, presided over by five great Elemental Dragons who balanced the world's forces: Terra (Earth), Aqua (Water), Ventus (Wind), Fulgur (Lightning), and Lumina (Light). Mortals lived beneath their protection in the vast, serene Kingdom of Aeridor, ruled by the just Sunstone Dynasty.
The most powerful Dragon, Lumina, was a being of pure, radiant energy, whose essence flowed through a sacred relic known as the Aether Orb, kept safe in the royal city of Sunstone Citadel.đź–¤ The Birth of Ignis
A scholar named Malakar, obsessed with forbidden knowledge, sought to master all five elements. He succeeded in capturing and combining the essences of the four primary Dragons (Earth, Water, Wind, Lightning) in a corrupt ritual, but he did so without the balancing force of Lumina.
The resulting entity was Ignis, the Sixth Dragon—a monstrous being of black scales, perpetually burning emerald flame, and pure destructive hunger. Ignis was not created; it was birthed from imbalance and malice, earning the title "The Dragon of Evil."Ignis's immediate rampage scorched the central plains, turning the land into the Cinder Wastes and forcing the elemental Dragons into a deep, defensive slumber to preserve their remaining power. Lumina expended the last of her energy to seal Ignis within an astral cage, but the cost was dire: the Aether Orb fractured, scattering three powerful shards across the world🛡️ The Sunstone Legacy
A century passed. Aeridor became a kingdom struggling against the constant darkness radiating from the Cinder Wastes.
Our protagonist is Kael, a young, fiercely loyal officer of the Sunstone Royal Guard, known for his unmatched skill with a spear and his stubborn hope. He serves the current ruler, King Theron Sunstone, who is respected but burdened by the ancient shadow.
