A Shattered World, A Guardian's Rise
Arsiltus, once a flourishing land, now lies desolate. A cosmic catastrophe, the destruction of the Great Relic, tore open a Void. This Void swallowed the land into nothingness. As the last Guardian, your purpose is clear. Reassemble the shattered Relic pieces and seal the Void. Restore hope to Arsiltus against overwhelming odds.
