About this listen

Darkness advances, guilds scheme, and the people suffer.

Everette’s had enough.

Aboard a massive ark-ship crossing the interstellar void, generations have already lived and died in the fractured cityscape of the Wards. Shadow-touched monsters now stalk the deep corridors of the ship, only held at bay by the Golden warriors wielding powerful magi-tech.

But Everette Highspire has discovered from within that the Golden’s mandate is a lie–an excuse to enforce oppression in the name of the catatonic celestials hidden away on the ship’s Core.

Gathering a handful of outcasts around him, Everette is determined to forge a pure path leading a new Guild–one that’s worthy of its power. But his enemies are multiplying and even his allies are not all they seem.

Can Everette and his burgeoning Guild carve out a foothold, or will the darkness claim more casualties?
