On Cosmic Tides

Laurel Stormblade, Master Vortex Cultivator of the Eternal Archive, veteran of a hundred battles, and pre-eminent warrior of northern Alrasia was on a routine mission for her sect when things went sideways. Trapped and betrayed, she went to fight her way out, only to find her attackers gone and the way clear. Returning to the surface, the oddities continued. The world has been warped into something unrecognizable. Ruins and a mana desert replaced the cheerful, bustling town she’d left only hours before. Alone and far from help, or anyone who knows what’s going on, Laurel is forced to trek through unfamiliar countryside to get back to the sect that has been her home for over a century. Join Laurel as she unravels the mystery of her imprisonment, discovers a world that is nothing like what she remembers, and nurtures the sect that’s given her everything. This slice of life adventure crosses continents and oceans, dives into intrigue, and reckons with navigating a world where the ascendance of magic is far from guaranteed. With new friends, a passel of students, and a new perspective, Laurel will do whatever she must to ensure the Eternal Archive becomes entrenched as a beacon of power and knowledge on Decorra and the wider cosmos beyond.
