"The world wasn't always like this..." The last words of an ancient emperor, whose final breath encapsulated a history long forgotten, and a world long since gone. August Trajan Castellane was born to the noble Imperial House of Castellane. The Castellane family has existed for hundreds of years, their nobility recognized even before the advent of the Empire they helped usher in. Their name is synonymous with magical superiority, military might, and most of all, Summoning. August is a good kid, a kind boy, and one of the most talented Summoners to ever grace the Castellane family, and the empire as a whole. His love for Summoning and magic in general, the resources he has access to, and his unquenchable thirst for knowledge make him the scion for a new age. The only problem is, that Augie would rather learn about magic and The System that governs all, than lead armies to conquer the known world. Join Augie as he grows from an eager youth to a powerhouse at the dawn of a new age, and the Castellane family as they grow with the tides of change. Most of all, pray they can find the truth behind the system before the knowledge is lost forever...
