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

"Why do you lie to yourself, Kael?" The voice from the thick mist queried.

Again, Kael's thoughts seemed to coalesce once into reality. This time he saw himself standing before Elara, arguing. The memory of the incident was brought fresh, into the present and he could feel the pain of their conflict and unresolved feelings.

Kael closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "No, this cannot go on! I must not be distracted. Elanon depends on me, the Alliance depends on me. The fate of the realms depends on this mission."

He knew there were unresolved feelings that he could not control now so he acknowledged them. Then he bottled the pain and unresolved feelings deep into his subconscious. He also buried the internal turmoil that his conflict with Devon generated and let go of his feelings of guilt, regret, and anger.

His mind now calm, he opened his eyes to find a figure in fine, ancient armour standing before him in the mist.
