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

<p>There was a torn expression on Elara's face which did not truly reflect the mental anguish she was undergoing in her mind. She did not look like her usual confident self at this moment. Certainly, this was no state to be in as she was already battling a sand construct and it looked like she could suffer a grievous injury from its attacks at any moment.</p>

<p>"Now! Release your dark power now!" The whisper from the dark amulet was insistent and irresistible in Elara's head. Again, with a totally unconscious reaction, like the earlier time she used the dark power against the dark entity, she stretched out her arm and the dark power issued forth. Only this time, the stream was larger, more potent, and with greater devastating effects. </p>
