Capriccio Ishtar - The Ballad Of Sol

Now in the 753rd year of the God King, Asbanun Niman, revolts have begun to ravage the floating kingdoms. Darkness is creeping upon the lands again. The Goddess Aladriel begins to stir, her Chevaliers start to muster.

Magic has begun to wither, and the floating lands have slowly begun to fall. Cursed clouds below reaching up to welcome them home.

The cogs of fate are turning…
