The old world was gone.

The War of Light and Shadow did not leave clear winners. It left ashes, ruined sanctuaries, broken roads and kingdoms too wounded to protect their people.

Families who had once lived beneath imperial banners now walked with nothing but wagons, relics, memories and hope. What began as flight became something greater. The Great Exodus was the moment Valekor stopped trying to restore the old world and began building a new one.
