Earlier than the Siege
Earlier than the Door to the Nice Under was abruptly torn open, the individuals of Kian noticed the traditional tales of gods and magic as nothing however myths. A brand new age fueled by black powder know-how introduced beforehand bickering nations nearer collectively. Even essentially the most conservative of locations corresponding to Three Peaks started to desert the outdated methods in pursuit of the riches each commerce and know-how needed to provide.
The Door to the Nice Under itself remained because the one, grim reminder of the outdated world. As soon as upon a time, the town of Daybreak had been constructed round it by those that struggled to let go of the useless. In trendy instances the Door had turn out to be an unexplainable curiosity, a landmark for a metropolis that was forgetting its previous.

At great value, they pushed their enemy again, however finally didn’t progress additional than containing the Useless inside the metropolis partitions. The Door to the Nice Under remained open – and The Siege of Daybreak had simply begun.
Ten years later, black powder know-how has lastly superior far sufficient to persuade Sama, Area Marshal of the Coalition, to log out on a mission behind enemy strains. Sama entrusts her unit of Sappers with the duty of blowing the Door shut and ending a decade of struggling. Nevertheless, the mission has missed a vital element; even in spite of everything these years, the Coalition stays in the dead of night regarding precisely how the Door opened… and who opened it.
The Sappers make it deeper into Daybreak than any earlier than them, solely to stroll straight into the lair of a god. Nose to nose with a creature straight from the pages of legend, the reality descends on them suddenly.
