Asir
"The world yearns for release, for true healing to take root. The festering sickness that plagues our lands must be purged, and the monstrous terrors that haunt our every step must be vanquished. In this quest, the dragons must lend their mighty flames to our cause, igniting the fire that shall illuminate the frigid north."
