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

Kael walked with Zephyr and Thorne towards the row of ancient tombs and couldn't help feeling a sense of anticipation. He felt uneasy regarding the absence of Elara as she failed to emerge from her trial in the swirling mist. Up till now, there was no sign of her.

Zephyr casually inspected the head stones of each of the tombs as they walked across them. He could see that there was an identical crest on each of them and they had runes that glowed faintly. "These must be the Castellum family crest" he thought.

"I am getting a sense of direction …. And it's coming from this direction," Zephyr said in a whisper, his finger pointing towards a section between two tombs.

"That's understandable," Kael replied. "After all, you have the Castellum bloodline. You should lead us during this part of the mission."
