The 25-Year War

The 25-Year War left two presences behind. One is that of fallen warriors and aristocrats whose souls still roam Auroria. The other is Axas, soldier of the Repentant Shadows, who wielded the Thorned Halberd and now rules over an armory in Whalebone Graveyard.

Souls without rest

They were noble warriors and esteemed aristocrats from every continent. They fought fiercely in the 25-Year War for their nations and their names, and did not escape death. Consumed by the Rancor that still lingers in Auroria, their souls became twisted wraiths and found no rest.

When the war ended, the age of exploration began. Even so, those souls wander without emotion, driven only by a stubborn obsession with duty and victory, forever seeking enemies.

Axas and the Thorned Halberd

During the 25-Year War, Axas, a soldier of the Repentant Shadows, wielded the Thorned Halberd and single-handedly brought down the enemy fortress. His horrifying power remained a symbol of fear, passed down through the ages.

Now Axas guards the Dark Blade armory in Whalebone Graveyard and mercilessly punishes anyone who dares to enter. That terror is awakening once more.

Whoever dares to cross his threshold will see the Thorned Halberd raised again. How the encounter ends depends only on who arrives.
