The Golden King and the Gylden Archives

Of the ancient kingdom three echoes remain: the Golden King, its last ruler; the Gylden Archives, raised during his reign in southern Aust; and Duskshade, the spirit into which those who died seeking gold in South Aust were fused.

The Golden King

The Golden King was the last ruler of the ancient kingdom. They say he shook the world with the power to create gold, and that on the day his kingdom fell he shut himself behind golden walls and drew his last breath there.

After countless years, rumours have begun to spread: someone may have found his long-lost resting place. No one knows where he lies in his eternal sleep, nor what fate would befall the world should he wake once more.

The Gylden Archives

The Gylden Archives were built in the golden age of southern Aust, under the reign of the Golden King. They came to hold countless books, records and treasures, and the king adorned them lavishly to display his wealth and luxury.

A rumour persists: during the war, some of his most precious possessions were hidden deep within the archives and never recovered. The name Gylden still weighs on those halls, and no one knows what truly awaits inside.

Duskshade

They died chasing gold in South Aust. Greed outlived them. Twisted by obsession, their spirits fused into one: Duskshade. Now it strikes down anyone who dares to draw near, on the idea that everyone seeks the same gold it could not obtain in life.
