Untold aeons ago, the world shattered, leaving behind fragments of reality in a sea of nothingness. Those creatures who are left draw upon the power of Anima, the essence of being itself, to overcome the forces of Aether, its destroying opposite.
It is this Aether, in the form of a continent-sized colossus, that has swallowed the once-great kingdom of Tirtha. The death of humankind’s greatest ruler, King Tarama, has spurred his people to find this terrible beast and free their ancestral home so that it may be part of the world once more. Only once Tirtha is again the realm of humanity can the dead king be laid to rest, and the struggle of existence continue.
