Infos

High above a desolate expanse of hardened glass, remnants of a vibrant ocean lost to time, humanity clings to life in the breathtaking sky-ports of Aethoria.  Navigating the treacherous wind currents in intricately crafted skyships, they fight for dwindling resources, their sky wars echoing a conflict far older than human memory.  Elara Neyland, a brilliant engineer haunted by the submerged world, seeks solace in the intricate dance of gears and mechanics.  But her discovery within the decaying hull of a pre-transformation submersible-ancient scrolls hinting at skybound leviathans and a forgotten war-shatters her quiet existence.
These scrolls speak of beings of immense power, whose ancient conflict solidified the very sea itself, and reveal the existence of the Skybinder, a device capable of manipulating the leviathans' energies.  Now, Elara must unravel the secrets of this lost language, for the escalating sky wars threaten to awaken these slumbering giants.  Joined by Kael Thorne, a seasoned skyship captain grappling with the ghosts of his past, and Rhys Blackwood, a cryptic historian obsessed with unraveling the world's transformation, Elara embarks on a perilous quest.  Their journey takes them from the bustling sky-ports of Aethoria to the desolate ruins of submerged cities, across windswept plateaus and treacherous canyons carved into the Obsidian Sea. They must not only contend with marauders and the ever-present threat of a fatal plunge, but also the machinations of Valen Vance, a ruthless warlord who seeks the Skybinder as the ultimate weapon.
Whispers of the Seawhisperers, a hidden group who believe the sea's transformation was a deliberate act, weave a subplot of intrigue and alliance, challenging Elara's scientific worldview and adding another layer of complexity to their mission. As Valen's pursuit intensifies, Elara's quest becomes a desperate race against time.  Is the Skybinder a weapon of destruction, or a key to restoring balance?  The fate of the skybound depths, and perhaps the planet itself, hangs in the balance. Dive into a world of breathtaking aerial battles, forgotten history, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable change. Discover the secrets of the Obsidian Sea.
