A group of mercenary lancers have been sent to investigate a distress call on the planet Hercynia, a world with a fledgling colony and a long history of war and loss
A hastily assembled team of Lancers are assembled to stop a corrupt baron from unleashing a horrible evil of an unknown nature upon the Cygni Star Cluster
Surely this will be a quick job with no long term consequences for the lancers involved, the Cygni star cluster, or the Karrakin Trade Baronies at large
Since time immemorial, the world has been divided. All the lands of the world are known as Getig. Life is harsh on Getig, but the mortal humans who live there know that they are protected.
Above is the endless band of colossal space station cities orbiting the world that are collectively known as Menog, the home of the Yazad, a race of technologically enhanced post-humans.
The Yazad protect the mortal realm from the endless assault of the Daevas, fearsome beasts that come from somewhere deep beneath the surface of Getig and rampage across the land until destroyed. Ruling over the Yazad is the council of the Six Sacred Divine Sparks,
the greatest among all Yazad, who act as a proxy for the divine throne that once belonged to Ahura Mazda, the supreme being that created the universe and then left.
YOU are a small band of warrior Yazad working directly for the divine sparks as their right hand against the Daeva. You report directly to Vairya, the Spark of Dominion, who commands the armies of the Yazad.
You are honored and respected, you command armies and are peerless warriors. The people of Menog celebrate you as heroes, the people of Getig venerate you as gods. Life is good.
Until a foul betrayal turns everything on its head.
