The floating isles of Ankar are kept afloat by a mysterious energy known as Source, but when it becomes clear this resource is not limitless, tensions rise. They deteriorate further when the islands begin crashing into one another, bringing nation-states into direct conflict. War erupts between formerly peaceful factions with each islands precious supply of Source at the center of it all. The Joining War has begun! Four factions take center stage in the conflict. The brawnen rely on their industry and formidable strength to outpace any opposition, and their lengthy history of martial endeavors is matched only by the enhanced abilities of their forsaken warriors. The grovetendersonce an introverted and peaceful racenow weave their harmony with nature into fearsome constructs that threaten anything on the battlefield. Stratified by a caste system, the heirs believe it their birthright to control Ankar, and what they lack in strength they make up for with highly-trained aerial squadrons. Lastly, the naroras reverence for Source has made them fanatical worshippers and warriors; their ultimate wish to join this power produces unstable and powerful fighters.
