Zen

"The Cold War of EverDusk" In the once-luminous lands of Solhara, the EverStar—a celestial artifact that chose the nation’s next ruler, which held the world in balance—was shattered one fateful night. Its fragments scattered, and suspicion engulfed the land. United factions fell into chaos, sparking a war that raged for decades. Solhara, once vibrant, now lies in the shadow of its lost harmony. Zen, a ninja from the enigmatic Moonveil Ninjas, is a master of intelligence, precision, and stealth. Known for his exceptional skill, he moves through the shadows with a calm and measured demeanor, far removed from the fiery fervor of the ongoing Cold War. While others are consumed by vengeance or ambition, Zen prefers to avoid unnecessary conflict, content to walk his own path. However, duty calls when his revered master orders him to join the investigation into the EverStar’s destruction and the hunt for its scattered fragments. Reluctantly, Zen heeds the call, uncovering whispers of a fragment hidden near a small village. But his mission takes a grim turn when he witnesses soldiers from the Ironclad Kingdoms laying waste to the village, brutalizing its people in their ruthless quest for dominance.
