Vale of the Failed and the Fallen

“You were the Chosen Ones…

Twenty years ago, the fate of the magical realm of Eidylorn rested on your shoulders. But it wasn’t even your world. You were outsiders. A group of would-be friends armed with spirit-bonded artifacts and told to face down the ultimate evil. It was wonderful. It was magical. You were certain to save the day! But cryptic advisors, overwhelming pressure, and youthful idealism can only get you so far.

You failed and your friend died. But you were just kids. What did they expect?

Now, as adults, you are called again. You get a second chance to right the wrongs you couldn’t before. To be the heroes your childhood selves needed you to be. That the whole realm needed you to be. But you’re not the same as you were then. Now you know the price…

Are you still willing to pay it?”
