Three of the team

Meet a few of the protagonists.

The full team is larger and the canon is deeper. Sign in to the Archive to read every character, their relationships, their equipment, and their place in the timeline.

The Outsider

Zahira

Sid's older half-sister and reluctant guardian. Sword in hand, anointed since birth, she walks the road for him alone — without yet knowing what either of them is for.

The Prince

Sid

Fourteen years old, heir to a kingdom that no longer stands. Sid walks the road his father's seer foretold. He believes his dharma to be experiencing the world as preparation for the Shakya throne.

The Prodigy

Jōn Darc

Won the Trials at age nine and never lost a duel since. The Sūrian Anointed prodigy carries a child's grin behind a swordsman's eyes — and a kill count older than her cohort.

More await behind the sign-in wall.
