The Morning Star (2026)

THE QUEST OF THE LIGHT BEGINS

A few days ago, you received a letter from your friend Yvain. In it, he asked for your help.

Galahad, upon his return, confirmed their worst fears: the Void is advancing relentlessly… and only you can help them.

That is why you have come.

Your journey has led you to the outskirts of a remote village, hidden among the mountains… a place where all news vanishes without a trace.

Beyond this point, no message ever returns. Only silence remains.

But you will not be alone.

There are those who watch.

Those who guard the secret.

And others… who have already failed before you.
