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

Attempts to take himself out of the spell that was initiated by the box proved unsuccessful. Besides, Aelarion did not have much time to make attempts as ghostly apparitions started to form around him. Upon closer inspection, Aelarion could tell that they were apparitions of his fallen team mates from back then.

They looked macabre with features injured or missing but without fail, all of them had accusing eyes. Their lips did not move but their voices whispered hoarsely as they surrounded him.

"It's all your fault, Aelarion. You allowed us to die. You failed us and our families!"

These whispers resonated deep within Aelarion and they synchronised with his feelings of regret and guilt. These feelings that had haunted him for decades now seemed about to destroy him. The weight of his guilt pushed him to his knees as he felt the full burden of previous mistakes.
