6 itemsAbout the Game
Enter the desert city of Leas, where humans dwell in safety behind their walls while strange and powerful fae roam the wilds. Play as one of a rare few skilled enough to explore the outside world: an agent of Den Zarel.
After making a dangerous discovery, you are sent on a mission by your Den that unfolds into an adventure that will unearth more than expected, and more than you alone can handle.
Fortunately, you'll have help along the way. A lifelong friend hiding a dangerous secret, a mysterious and taciturn rogue, and a brilliant and charming mage unite under your banner to help save your city, and possibly, the world.
