Description
Aardehn sits on the brink of catastrophic demise. Another cycle ending without its prophecy realized. It's magic touched inhabitants enslaved to gold mines, sex houses, or left to eke out an existence in the slimy underworlds of Drahinzi. On the distant horizon sits the Obelisk. World creator, world-destroyer - it has many names. It's arrival signaled life and hope, but as each cycle has proven, it ultimately leaves destruction in its wake. Rising up about its base is the city of Torin, a spreading virus crawling ever higher to the heavens while its tech wealthy overlords war amongst themselves. For Celeste, a girl schooled in ancient techniques, but raised in the shadow of the Obelisk, forces from all sides are closing in. Priests and criminals, governments and rebels, technofites and shapeshifters - all claiming to have her best interests at heart... yet none resonating with the lessons of her missing father. However, in a world of ancient magics and ever invading tech, can anything be what it seems? What entities are gathering to play their hands in this world of conflict? What plans do they have for Celeste and all those she befriends and fights? Created with cross storytelling techniques and combining illustration with prose, comics with diaries, poems with paintings (and much more) Aardehn: The Black Veil is an epic science-fantasy-- an enthralling adventure by a new and ambitious creative team.
