Strings of Fate

Chapter 0
Vladar-Kendo, councilman and worldblood of the Obsidian, has agreed to help the Bifroz Rebellion within the Demkkaro region of the Third Ikkaran Empire. Zanki Warbringer is leading the rebellion in favor of independence for all the nations within the empire, attempting to overthrow the despotic Orza Boneshatter.

Kendo is told by a lunar commander named Ozar Bloodblane to report to The Creator and The Destroyer at their smithing station. The Destroyer, a female orcana, is finalizing the plating on a new motorcycle, plated in black biometal. The worldblood is gifted with a tracking prism and begins his journey towards Ikkara, accompanied by a lunar engineer named Haera to serve as his pilot.

He arrives safely in Ikkara, where he eventually comes across a small encampment of demons, who are joined by a silver-blooded brother to Zanki, Korga Sundersong, a renowned orcana magician. Korga requests that Vlandar prove his worth as an Obsidian by helping sabotage a slave trade encampment towards the east of Central Ikkara.

Upon their successful liberation of twenty seven male demons from a coven of seven witches, Korga and his soldiers pledge to escort Vlandar to Orza within the Demkkaro region. When Kendo arrives, Zanki requests assistance to recover an artifact of great power being held in a decommissioned laboratory within the region. Zanki believes the object to be a worldforged artifact, which could be the key to earning the support of the Chromatic Union.

Upon entering the laboratory, Kendo is able to discover a secret underground facility left still intact. Within the underground lab is a set of three enchanted capsules, and while Kendo and Zanki are able to open a black and red capsule respectively, a blue capsule remains unopened. The supposed worldforged artifact turns out to be an oceloth of unknown origins, which is left in Kendo’s care and named Rahl. Zanki also manages to secure a powerful red biometal item, which she believes could help win the war.
