AI Summary
5 min readEverything You Need to Know Before Burn of the Everflame
The Kindred's Curse Saga takes place in Amarian, a continent divided into nine magical realms by ten immortal siblings called the Kindred. Before the Kindred arrived, mortals worshipped the Everflame—a gnarled tree with leaves of perpetual fire, believed to be the source of all life and death. The Kindred chopped it down to build their temple. That act of destruction, and the oppression that followed, set the stage for centuries of conflict between the immortal-blooded Descended and the mortals they rule over.
The World and Its Magic
The nine realms were created by the Forging Spell, which bound each realm to a specific Kindred's magic. Lumnos controls light and shadow. Fortos has healing in women and killing magic in men. Faunos communicates with animals. Arboros commands plant life. Ignios wields sand and flame. Umbrus reads and controls minds. Miros governs sea and sky. Sophos controls electricity and perfect memory. Montios commands stone and ice. A tenth realm, Omnos, was erased from history—its land absorbed by Montios, its existence known only to the Sophos crown.
