The Throne of Luster, the first in an epic new fantasy series set within Akeroth, arrives to whisk you away to a world of Light-based Magic & Dragons! You can also join in for a exclusive content, pins, stickers, art prints, RPGs, and more!
In the shadows of a fallen world, power is not a gift, but a burden to be borne.
Within the realm of Akeroth, in the great region of Batesian, the remnants of the lost World Tree still whisper of forgotten magics as a new and volatile force has emerged. The Light, once a beacon of hope, now burns with an untamed ferocity that threatens to consume all in its path. For generations, the Lightbearers have stood as guardians of balance, but in the wake of the cataclysmic Dragonfall, even they find themselves adrift in a sea of chaos.
Valeron Greenleaf, a young elf raised in the secluded village of Sproutvale, has always felt the weight of a destiny he couldn't name. Trained in the art of the blade but bereft of the magical abilities that define his world as a Lightless, he struggles to find his place. But when a dragon's attack shatters the peace of his home, Valeron discovers a power within himself that defies all he's been taught.

Thrust into a world of political intrigue, magical warfare, and ancient prophecies, Valeron and his allies must navigate the treacherous waters of a realm teetering on the brink of chaos. The Pyrelords, wielders of destructive flame magic, seek to claim dominion over all. Dragons, now few, roam unclaimed awaiting those strong enough to tame them, while the remaining Factions of Lightbearers all seek a sliver of power to overthrow the flames that hold them.
In a land where light and shadow dance a deadly waltz, will Valeron find the strength to master his newfound powers and forge his own destiny? Or will he become a pawn in a game that has raged since the dawn of time?
