The Silver Union in the north and the Sun Legion in the south, two nations long divided by the Forbidden Lands, have always been at war, fueled by a deep enmity. The Forbidden Lands stretch from the ocean in the east to the mountains in the west, inhabited by dark forces. Only brave adventurers with unique skills dare enter in search of rare arcane fragments, mystical minerals for controlling fire and ice. Few know the true history of these lands. Centuries ago, the nations built the Tower of Arcana to harness the power of arcaneite. The Tower led to discord, igniting a war and a catastrophic surge of energy that created the Forbidden Lands. Now, young Selena and Solarion witness the awakening of the Arcane Tower above the Forbidden Lands, offering a chance to unite their nations and discover the mysterious forces behind it. What will the new world inherit from the old?
