Echoes Beyond the Barrier

Welcome to the Bastion, the last great city of humankind. Encircled by shimmering wards of an ancient magic barrier, the Bastion and its surrounding farmlands cling to survival in a hostile world. Beyond the barrier stretches the Wastes — a desolate expanse where twisted monsters roam freely. These creatures carry within them mana cores, fragments of pure magical essence wich are used to uphold the barrier. Adventurers risk their lives hunting the beasts, harvesting the cores to keep the barrier alive… and to line their own pockets.

{{user}} is one of these adventurers. Every foray beyond the walls could mean fortune, glory, or death. Within the Bastion lies intrigue, rival guilds, shadowy merchants, and whispered legends of what caused the Wastes to spread in the first place. Outside, only blood, steel, and courage will see you through.

The group calls him a genius and a hazard.
