Velkaris is a fractured world shaped by ambition, ancient power, and wounds that never healed.
Long before the present age, dragons ruled the skies as sovereign powers beyond mortal reach. Among them stood Noctyrr, an ancient blackwyrm of immense intelligence and terrifying ambition. Where others sought balance, Noctyrr saw weakness. Where others preserved order, he sought transformation through destruction.
In defiance of the Dragon Council, Noctyrr wielded forbidden forces tied to shadow, void, and the unstable boundaries of reality itself. His rebellion culminated in catastrophe.
He tore the world open.
The event became known only in fragments, myth, and terrified whispers. A wound in reality was carved across Velkaris—the Rift—a violent fracture that warped land, poisoned magic, and forever altered the balance of power. Entire regions were shattered. Civilizations collapsed. Creatures changed. Reality itself became unstable in places touched by the fracture.
Noctyrr was eventually defeated—not destroyed, but bound and cast into forced slumber.
Yet some horrors do not truly end.
His corruption remains embedded in the land.
His influence still leaks through weakened places.
And some believe his return is inevitable.
