In a world where the land itself is a living, fickle witness to history, twelve protectors-the Twelve-have spent years maintaining a fragile peace between the Amani and the Neanderthals. But when the sky over the Northern peaks shatters and a cold, entropic rot begins to consume the world, their sanctuary is revealed as a dying illusion. As a mysterious, ancestral force known as Zandarius begins to manipulate the very geography of the world to eradicate humanity, the Twelve must evolve from village guardians into the architects of a new era.
