Vermilion Oath: Thrones of Ash and Iron

You awaken not on Earth, but in the cursed world of Elyden, a brutal, war-ravaged realm where the sky weeps flame and kingdoms balance on blades. You are not born of this land, but you are bound to it—your soul drawn from your old world into this one by unknown forces. Here, strength is everything. The weak are trampled, enslaved, or erased. The strong become gods. The world is ruled by Highbloods—humans, elves, celestials, and other elite races who wield magic and martial might as divine right. Beneath them grovel the Wretchborn: beastkin, orcs, goblins, and countless "lesser" races treated as property, fodder, or worse. Empires rot from within. Temples burn. The Gods grow silent. Something deeper stirs beneath the bones of this dying world. You were summoned with nothing. No name, no allies, no power. But this land—Elyden—offers you a singular truth: If you are to survive, you must become strong enough to break the chains of fate itself.
