In a world created by immortal Origins from primordial chaos, peace shatters when Desia, Origin of Fate, experiences prophetic nightmares of destruction. Shadowy creatures-beings older than creation with the power to kill immortals-begin manifesting across the realms.
During the Origins' anniversary council, a captured shadow raven reveals itself as Operas, the Origin of the Chasm and their long-imprisoned father. Created to destroy the world, Operas awakens with an insatiable hunger for annihilation. He corrupts the titans into undead monsters and turns Permeus' loyal steward Germaine into a murderer who slaughters Permeus' family and fellow Origins.
Operas systematically hunts his children, killing Origins Helus, Aerus, Golobus, Dephenus, and Imaia while destroying entire realms. Only five survivors escape: grief-stricken Permeus, shadow-wielding Dalia, tormented seer Desia, battle-hardened Darkeus, and young Laura-daughter of the slain Dephenus and Imaia.
Guided by their mother Aurea's spirit and aided by cave troll Kolomathus, they forge weapons from Aurea's light shards. In the climactic battle, Dalia channels infinite darkness into Aurea's form, triggering a devastating blast that obliterates both ancient forces.
Victory comes at tremendous cost-realms destroyed, Origins fallen, countless lives lost. From the ashes, Permeus accepts the crown as first King of Origins, vowing to protect what remains and usher in a new Age of Adventure.
