Within the realm of Akeroth, in the great region of Batesian, the remnants of the lost World Tree still whisper of forgotten magics as a new and volatile force has emerged. The Light, once a beacon of hope, now burns with an untamed ferocity that threatens to consume all in its path. For generations, the Lightbearers have stood as guardians of balance, but in the wake of the cataclysmic Dragonfall, even they find themselves adrift in a sea of chaos.

Valeron Greenleaf, a young elf raised in the secluded village of Sproutvale, has always felt the weight of a destiny he couldn't name. Trained in the art of the blade but bereft of the magical abilities that define his world as a Lightless, he struggles to find his place. But when a dragon's attack shatters the peace of his home, Valeron discovers a power within himself that defies all he's been taught.
