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

Even though the attack was sudden, Kael was able to parry the blow using his reflexes. But the force of the attack pushed him back and sent numbing vibrations through his body.

Devon continued to attack ferociously and Kael could only continue to defend himself. "Where was your protection when I needed it? I'll take you through the darkness into which you let me!" Eyes filled with fury, Devon deflected one of Kael's counters and gave a powerful slash in response. Kael retreated but the machete had grazed his fore-arm and it began to bleed.

Seizing the moment, Devon launched a dark spell that created a whirlpool of dark magic. Kael felt the powerful suction force and was sucked into this whirlpool.
