The Land of Seppora is a beautiful lush place, teeming with life and magic. It lies at the heart of Tempora, a world created and sustained by magic and nature. This is how Seppora looks, at least from the outside. The leadership structure of Seppora is however rife with corruption and injustice.

Can 5 people with twisted pasts whose paths somehow align be able to stop this abomination?

You need to hear it." "The chalice can only be used by someone special, called the son of light, who guards a hidden realm with a secret seer. For two hundred years, the chalice has been dormant, its dark power sealed away by the seer's magic."
