Your choices shape the destiny of the World That Remains. This entirely text-based experience—free from graphics and sound effects—relies solely on the limitless power of your imagination to bring the story to life.
The philosopher witch Teijia has awakened a terrifying new force: Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion, a god-forged beast whose venom erodes the very fabric of reality. As the world begins to unravel at the edges, the Stormraiders launch a final, desperate campaign to overthrow the Three Nations and claim their own dominion.
This time, courage and divine favor won’t be enough. To survive the coming storm and halt the Scorpion’s advance, you’ll need an army. Rise as a warlord, a crime syndicate mastermind, or a prophet anointed by the gods. Journey across scorching deserts and storm-wracked oceans to uncover a weapon capable of felling the unbeatable.
Familiar Faces, Hidden Agendas. Reconnect with allies and adversaries from the past—rekindle bonds, rivalries, or romance with Melaxu, the nymph philosopher, and Tamur, the enigmatic spy of the Desert Empire. But danger returns with them: Galimar and Gisla of the Stormraiders are back, and King Hyras and the Desert Empress have their own demands—ones that may cost you everything.
New Allies, Greater Perils. Forge bonds with Col, the legendary satyr general, and his ward Clannath, a crow-woman cursed by the God of Rage. Seize and defend territory across two fractured nations, balancing loyalty, survival, and ambition. Yet beware the dark priests’ schemes—and the celestial priests of Heaven, who still brand you a heretic and a threat to divine order.
The Fall of Reason? As King Hyras and Lord Vankred prepare for their final clash to end the Stormraider War, Teijia unleashes her ultimate creation: the Emissary Beast, Magdala, the Unconquerable Scorpion. Its venom dissolves the ancient engines that sustain the World That Remains. If reality itself is under siege, what hope is there?
