Arturias lives peacefully as an ordinary boy, ignorant of the true turmoil beyond his village's borders. That is, until a chance encounter with an outsider opens his eyes to the reality previously hidden from him. He will soon come to find that the history of Skana extends far beyond the iron-fisted rule of the Valeriaans – a longstanding clan whose thirst for retribution led them to establish the most feared empire to have ever existed. Yet their tyranny over the common folk has not deterred strong opposition from those seeking their freedom once more: a courageous rebel group known as the Viklanders. In the face of great loss, Artur must seek out his own path in a world he is only beginning to understand, unknowingly drawing nearer to a future which has patiently awaited him. As war continues to rage about him, claiming victims without partiality, the question is now: will Artur accept what he needs to become?

SYNOPSIS

EXCERPT FROM ‘OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS’

"...The folk called the tragedy “The Tears of Ash,” to memorialize the sorrow of Skana. To remember the time they wept in solidarity with one another. It was the end of a world they once knew, and the beginning of one that forever reminded them of the victors’ capacity for ire.

That was over two hundred years ago, and the Valeriaans were as much in power then as they are now. Their despotic reign is the bane of all prosperity and contentment of the common folk, who live in fear of an empire all too quick to punish and all too obliged to be unforgiving. They are a people who live in a world with a past torn away from them and a future long faded from sight. A world in which the fundamentals of edification and proficiencies are forbidden to them, the promise of prosperity left to those who lay claim to the spoils of war. But that does not stop them from longing. It is all they have left. While the many could only hope there would come an end to the Valeriaans, others took to their courage and raised a blade in a stoic defiance.

It was on the day proceeding the fall of Heímdäll, as they gazed upon the ruins they once called home with both heaviness in their hearts and a rage thought only to possess the Valeriaans, that there came a glimmer. Not one to set flames once more to the already burning Skana. But that of a call, a beckoning to action – to take up arms ever so defiantly in the wake of the newly formed empire. They called themselves the Viklanders. What was once a term to deride the folk of a region thought to be of more uncivilized and barbaric means, now was proclaimed loudly upon the tongues who adopted what would be a title. A legacy. For Heímdäll. For the folk who were denigrated because of their circumstances upon birth. For the folk who took up arms against the Valeriaans in olden times. For the homeland which birthed the heart of defiance. A rebellion was formed of unforeseen heroes, the bravest of hearts among the common folk.

The two adversaries have stood at odds with one another for over a hundred years, for the Viklanders are the last hope the common folk of Skana have left. Though they may not boast an outward display of support due in part of the grave consequences, it has not stopped them from furtively yearning from the shadows, from behind closed doors, in the intimacy of trusted parties, the victory that had been lost to them those two hundred years ago…”
