A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
Centaurus had just one rank 5, only four rank 4s. The pillars of the Duchy had always been the rank 3s.
Despite its expanse and population, it had only a limited of these. Even if the 500 billion population was searched, one wouldn't find more than a hundred rank 3s.
The official number was always less because a lot of rank 3s when facing the end of their lives would go into a secluded retreat for one last try or just give up the divine paths altogether and live a normal life.
In everyone's minds, even if the sky fell, they would be there to hold it up. For a province like Barix, rank 3s were supposed to their rulers. But thanks to Lord Jorand's unexpected resources, they become important fighting forces.
Even though they were disadvantaged against the Duchy's forces, thanks to the traitors that emerged at unexpected moments, the province's rank 3s now had a definitive edge.
