Exodus: A Legacy Story: 1

The world ended once before.When the survivors of the Great Awakening arose without memory of what came before, every island rebuilt the truth differently. The gods were remembered under different names. Histories were assembled from fragments. And those who controlled the record learned to decide which stories would endure-and which lives could be erased.In Cauldra, history is sacred, order is recorded, and justice burns its verdicts into flesh. Across the sea, Barra turns the condemned into commerce. Prisoners are auctioned into roles, chained to merchant carts, and forced through the Run while crowds wager on who will reach Fort Dagnaut alive.Beyond Barra, the reach of empire takes other forms. On Ubaku, a mine has been driven through the buried city of Korava in search of violet stone, consuming villages above and generations below. Across the islands, people are renamed, numbered, and made useful to powers that believe themselves eternal.But the world born after the Great Awakening was built from broken memory. Even its oldest institutions have forgotten what happens when the erased begin writing history for themselves.
