Heart of the Obsidian Star

Seraphin Vane, a prodigious arcanist with a lineage nearly forgotten, once believed in the solemn oaths of the Collegium Arcana. But the gilded halls proved to be a viper's nest. Betrayed by those he called mentors and kin, stripped of his burgeoning power, and cast into the desolate, magic-scarred expanse of the Shattered Isles, Seraphin experienced the brutal truth of a world where power dictates all, and loyalty is merely a currency. Yet, fate, or perhaps a lingering curse, intervened. Deep within a forgotten necropolis, he stumbled upon a relic not of this age: the solidified essence of a celestial entity, imbued with the unfathomable arcane arts of a progenitor whose legend had faded into myth. This legacy, once a source of crushing despair for its previous wielder, now offers Seraphin a path to power beyond the wildest imaginings of mortal magi. From the ashes of betrayal, he will rise, not as a hero, but as a harbinger of change, whose ascendance will unravel ancient conspiracies and redraw the very constellations of power across Aethelgard. The world will soon learn that true strength is forged not in loyalty, but in the enduring fire of a wronged heart.
