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

These reflections carried a deadly aura of dark energy about them. They also looked grotesque and evil. Immediately the dark reflections emerged, they started to attack the Alliance heroes with reckless abandon.

Kael, Zephyr, and Thorne could not help but look stupefied at the attack. It was simply beyond the realm of their imaginations.

"Snap out of it and defend yourselves!" Aelarion shouted when he saw this, He immediately put words into action and released a strong blast of light magic, shattering several mirrors. Interestingly, this helped to dispel some of the illusions.

Thorne infused lightning spells into his arrows and began to shoot. This too seemed to work as when the arrow struck the body of these grotesque figures, they immediately dissolved into mere shadows. Zephyr also reached into his mind and chose an enchantment spell. Then he began to strum his lute. The piercing notes helped to disrupt the illusion and make the dark reflections unstable.
