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 slavers often explore both the backlands like yours and other worlds like mine, capturing creatures - especially those with a potential for magic - to sell them off at the auctions for profit."

The future indeed looked bleak, Aelarion thought to himself as he listened intently to Lycardor. "What are the chances of escape?" he asked Lycardor.

"Virtually impossible," Lycardor was shaking his head. "Right from the point of capture to the slave auction process, an immense level of attention is placed on slaves.

"The starships usually have advanced technology, weaponry, and deadly magic to discourage escape attempts."

"That is why any who make attempts are quickly tracked and subdued in little time. I'll advise you to pipe low and try to survive for now until you get an opportunity to escape."
