The Sanctum: World of Runes and Steel

A few generations ago, the Machiavellian Islands were known as the pinnacle of what humanity could be. They were the most productive, most progressive, and most influential country in the world, even amidst the War of Sorrows. That is, until they were destroyed from within on a single day, known to history as the Day of Ashen Sky, killing millions.Now, wars have laws in light of this horrific genocide.And with the world's next war, the fate of thousands will rest solely on Bain's shoulders. There's one question though. Is he willing to do what it takes to survive?Welcome to the World of Runes and Steel.Where there are rumors of people with abilities called "witches".Where secret societies live by their own laws.Where technology is ever progressing, and magic has been forgotten.Where fact and legend clash.“The world has modernized, boy.We now have cars and crafts and call devices all smarter than the people using them.We have medicine that cures almost any disease.We have an economy with unprecedented success and number of wealthy people.Yes, we have modernized, but we are not civilized.The world has forgotten the violence of obliterating an entire country.It has forgotten the unacknowledged unnatural people who exist.But most of all it has forgotten the ancient ways, the weapons created and the power that stands at our fingertips.Now we are to have wars fought with one person from each country in an attempt to ignore our past transgressions.I will rectify the wrongs that have been done and see all those responsible have dully paid for their crimes.Welcome to your war, Bain, and I am your target.The cost of your failure is steep.”
