The Jaia Diary: Jaierion Nucleus: 1

The misadventure that awakened a dormant apocalypse.A force of nature deep within the bedrock of planet Jaia, the dormant Jaierion Nucleus, has awakened. The theft of the Nujainya Plate from Arquiliam's Apparatus has shattered a peace that lasted for generations. Now, a runaway reaction threatens to incinerate the peninsula of Jaierion and plunge Jaia into an age of fire and ice. To save their world, the legions of the Aiojora and Xundalayra provinces form an alliance. Led by the enigmatic Oracle of Aiojora, three elite Xundalayra legionnaires embark on a suicide mission deep into hostile territory to recover the stolen diffraction plate and return it to its housing. Every step of the way, their path is blocked by spirit gatekeepers, nightmarish underworld demons, adversarial soldiers, vagabonds, and highwaymen, all while they race against the crushing weight of a ticking clock. In a world where medieval steel meets advanced science, the heroes must exhibit ultimate resolve against impossible odds to prevent a global catastrophe. If they fail, Jaierion will burn and Jaia will cease to exist.
