The Shattered Crown of Aeloria

Years before the story begins, the kingdom of Aeloria was a land of prosperity, protected by the Crown of Eternis—a magical artifact that channeled the power of the elements. However, during the War of Shadows, the Crown was shattered into seven shards by the traitorous Prince Malachar, who sought to claim its power for himself. The royal family was betrayed and slaughtered, and the kingdom fell into chaos. The shards were scattered across the land, and the Crown's magic faded, leaving Aeloria vulnerable to dark forces.
