The continent of Bastion has always been ruled by the mega-city Bastion for ages. It's colonization efforts has led many of the city's heroes, guilds and champions of the crown to scour the large continent in a bid to claim the whole continent as it's own. Despite tensions between many smaller countries and the Bastion, most colonization efforts were welcomed, as the mega-city had the most sophisticated technology, and heralded the promise of a better life to many commonfolk, living in rustic towns or backwater cities.
Unbeknownst to many, the governing council of the mega-city sent a team of elite mages to dig and discover an old abandoned temple in an isolated, quaint island. Our main character, a level headed sorcerer, Vulkar, would lead the team of spellcasters into the dangerous and mysterious temple.
However, due to an unexpected turn of events, and a decade of waiting, Vulkar would then set out on a mission to bring retribution to those who deserve it, and would unravel secrets, significant enough to tarnished and break apart the pristine and clean image of the mega-city, Bastion.

Author's Note:
This has been a project that I've revised, revamped and changed for countless times before I finally settled and fleshed it out :) I've made small games with RMVX here and there previously, but most of them never got released because I felt that they were too unpolished or dissatisfactory. This might be a really ambitious project, starting new but it would make me really satisfied if I were to pull it off :)
Support this project? :)
