1347 / Black Death

Europe mistakes the first wound for disease.

Roads empty before kingdoms understand why. Churches fill, villages seal their gates, and the world begins to count survival in bodies.

The Second Moon

The Yellow Moon gives fear a shape.

The Moon of Predation does not invent violence. It reveals the hunger, jealousy, domination, and instinct already waiting under human law.

The Reconciliation

Some break. A few awaken to the Light.

The inner crisis becomes a battlefield of its own. Those who survive it can manifest the Light, and paladins become humanity's first impossible answer.

The Order

Faith survives by splitting into doctrine.

House Gladius chooses sacred violence. House Varham studies medicine, astronomy, and Iksir. House Sephirys answers zeal with restraint and black Light.

1496 / Wismar

Alexander Glade dies, and the East goes quiet.

A wave of Light follows his death. Four years later, the silence still holds. No one knows whether the Scourge is wounded, waiting, or learning.
