In the world of Karethyn, reality was torn apart by the falling of the Shards—fragments of a forgotten higher existence that shattered the natural laws. These shards gave rise to Manipulation Abilities, powers that allow humans to command fire, time, steel, energy, and more. But the Shards didn’t just gift power—they also cursed the world. From the corrupted shards came the Shifters—monstrous beings with ever-changing forms and unpredictable abilities. Each Shifter is unique, birthed from pure instability. They grow, mutate, and adapt with every battle. To confront this rising threat, humanity forged a militarized society based around combat and power hierarchy. Manipulators are ranked by both the strength and versatility of their powers.
