🌍 World & Narrative

Long ago, the Dice of Fate governed balance in Taliara. Movement. Power. Prosperity. War.

They shattered.

Now two factions rise:

🌿 The Leafborn

Guardians of natural order. Tactical. Adaptive. Defensive control.

🪨 The Stoneclad

Industrial conquerors. Aggressive. Structured. Expansion-driven.

Across floating realms and fractured tiles, portals awaken.

The Dice spin again.
