The end came, and went. The apocalypse arrived in a blaze of blistering light, and the death of something that might as well have been a god. A calamity came upon all things. Heroes died, and were forgotten. Worlds were rendered to kindling for the flames of ruin.

Five years later, the world struggles to move on, to rebuild what was lost. Survivors fight for a new beginning, to see their Realm reborn. And this seventh dawn brings upon the world another generation of heroes, scions of a newborn age. Among them stands a child from a foreign star - and with them comes the echo of another calamity, past or future...
