As divine abilities awaken and noble conspiracies threaten their plans, they must decide whether their alliance can withstand the forces surrounding them. Together, they face the people who wronged Astraia, pursue justice for the betrayals they endured, and become entangled in a struggle that could change the fate of the continent.
