Introduction

---

In the sprawling realms of the Imperion Kingdom, magic and mystery intertwine to shape a world where Wizardry is a craft mastered by elite sorcerers, and Sorcery is an ancient art practiced by secretive sorcerers. The lands are divided, bound by traditions and the unyielding laws of the noble Houses, each bearing its own emblem and virtues. Among them, the House of Dragon stands as a symbol of strength, while the Pardus are known for their ferocity and grace.

But the kingdom is not just a realm of peace and prosperity. A period known as the Regency Break has left scars, a time when the governing rule was shattered, leading to chaos and strife. In this era, dark creatures like Wraiths roamed free, and Form-changers deceived the unwary.

Within the intricate hierarchy of the Imperion Kingdom, the Eympyrians reign supreme. Majestic, ethereal beings, they are the epitome of wisdom and power, guardians of the Sovereign Sphere, a mystical object that holds the secrets of the universe. Their appearance is awe-inspiring, with an elegant blend of human and beast features, eyes that sparkle with the wisdom of ages, and wings that shimmer with ethereal light.

Different regions of the kingdom hold their unique charm and peril. Avandryl is the bustling capital, Blancridge the serene beauty, and Ashfog Valley a place shrouded in enigma. People known as Terrans, outsiders from beyond the kingdom, bring with them exotic culture and diverse philosophies.

In the midst of all this complexity, the young sorcerer-assassin Viktor Dravos makes his mark, accompanied by his flying fox-like familiar, Opal. Together, they navigate the treacherous terrains, unraveling secrets, facing formidable foes, and embracing the wonders of a world where every blink could transport you to a new place, and telepathic contact is a whisper away.

Welcome to the world of "Sorcerer's Shadow," where every turn leads to a new adventure, every word is a spell, and every character is a doorway to a realm unexplored.
