Legacy of the Dark Sage
When Kyran turned 18, his life turned upside down. The Royal Army raided his clan because his supposedly non-existent magic got exposed. On that fateful night, he was the only one who escaped. Up to the present, the status of his clan was unknown. A magic inheritance that became a curse, Kyran became a fugitive. Always on the run... living in fear when the Royal Army finally captures him. At least that's what most people thought... "I'll definitely save my family. And I will make all those who made my clan suffer pay tenfold. I'll make use of this magic they so feared, and show them what real terror is...." Disclaimer: The cover image isn't mine. I'll replace it when I finished mine.
Unprecedented Event (2)
The Council was known as the most powerful faction, but the truth was that the relationship between the member clans was unstable.
The Emperor's and Dragon Emperor's clans had a minor clash recently. The two emperors did not participate. Nonetheless, it was evident how the Dragon Clan easily outpowered The Emperor's clan. The result ended with the Dragon Clan successfully forcing The Emperor's clan to retreat. Both sides did not suffer heavy casualties, but the damage done was nothing to scoff at.
The damage dealt in that clash did not affect the two clans' military strength per se. Instead, it was their reputation.
Discussions started circulating about how The Dragon Emperor's clan was far superior to The Emperor's clan. The discussion only happened between clan leaders and their trusted aides, but this was precisely what caused The Council's instability to worsen.
