Unanswered questions, ancient warnings, and the shadows that linger between the stars.
In the Vayantar Hills, a full moon is not merely a phase of the sky—it is a boundary. Legends speak of the veil growing thin, allowing things that "belong in the dark" to walk the silver-lit paths. Locals have learned to stay indoors, for on such nights, the hills themselves seem to listen and wait.
Beyond ordinary wildlife, the hills are home to abominations that defy natural anatomy. Descriptions include massive shadows with claws that tear through metal like tissue, skeletal structures that bend in impossible directions, and beings that leave ozone and ash in their wake. Their origin is unknown, but their presence is a constant threat to the Authority's outer borders.
The case of the boy who vanished from a hilltop house is one of Authority 2's most baffling failures. A search party found only blood, ashes, and a training ground humming with residual power. For two years, Vyomaksh was a ghost—until his name reappeared in the capital's records. What happened on that hill? And who—or what—did Vyomaksh become in the silence of those two years?
