the herald ghost intro got me ngl. three hundred years waiting at the same post
Spoilers for Act One below. Play it first if you care.
Three hundred years ago a Warlock named Erebus spent twenty years hunting one book. He found it in the deepest vault of the Shadow cloister. It was the Book of Shadow and it talked to him.
The voices pushed him to read a spell out loud in front of Queen Ashari's court in Sun City at noon. The sky went black and tore open. Demons came down through the tear and their smoke became the wall everyone calls the Stygian.
Tecuani the Lightkeeper chased him to the Dark Water and tore one page out of the Book while he ran. Queen Sekhmet's smiths in the Fire Dominion tried to burn it and couldn't.
When the demons hit the Book its loose pages blew away down the rivers. Those are the Book fragments you pick up and write into your own spellbook.
The Herald of Ash waits in the Courtyard of Nine Suns with a message three hundred years old. Tecuani is buried under the green in Earth and tells you the rest herself. After that the tear in the sky starts to grow and the hunt for six pieces begins.
That's Act One. This gets updated as new chapters go live.

The page that would not burn

Where the pages went
When the demons hit the Book its loose pages blew away down the rivers. Those are the Book fragments you pick up and write into your own spellbook.
