Every 5,000 years, the celestial planets Platymus, Cantrus, Glarion, aligns in perfect harmony with their moon. This is a cosmic event of greatest power and potential. The evil Emperor Zalthar long long ago directed his archmage, Mordak, to forge a mystical disc - the Pattena that has the ability to absorb the combined energy of these celestial bodies. Legend foretold that whosoever used the Pattena during the alignment can either dominate or destroy the celestial realms.

Five millennia ago, a coalition of heroes - the Planon Alliance - shattered the Pattena and stopped Zalthar's insidious scheme. The disc fragments were scattered across the planets and peace ensued for generations. However, Mordak’s agents have now diligently collected the hidden fragments and are much closer to restoring the dreaded artefact. 

It is up to five heroes - Kael, a skilled warrior with his own tragic past; Elara, a cunning rogue and a master thief; Zephyr, a charismatic bard with his own secrets; Thorne, a lone ranger with natural abilities; and Lyra, a young and inexperienced but gifted mage - to unite and prevent the Zalthar and Mordak from achieving their dark ambitions as the time of the alignment once more draws near. They must journey on across treacherous landscapes and enemy territory to locate the remaining disc fragments and learn more about their ancestors’ legacy. Failure is not an option for it would spell doom for all life as they know it.

The Pattena Heroes

The massive door of the inner sanctum was at the end of a long corridor and it was filled with intricate runes and symbols that the uninitiated would find hard to decipher.

"I can sense the Lunarceptor beyond this door." Aelarion said.

"But how do we get in?" Yunis replied. "These entry runes look complex."

"Not to worry, give me a little space so I can try something." Aelarion thought for a moment and said.

He closed his eyes and used his mental senses to probe the runes on the door. As usual, whenever he came in contact with dark magic, he felt it resonate with the core of his being, as if he was a part of it and it was a part of him. This was one reason why Aelarion was so gifted. He aligned his innate dark magic to the frequency of the runes and symbols and then amplified the frequency.

Thereafter, Aelarion reached out his hand. It was interestingly glowing with light as he traced the appropriate symbols.
