Grind100 — The Scourge and the Catharsis

diasmv
In the shadow of the Catharsis Mountains, a desperate plea rose from a quiet village to the Capital: a spreading slime infestation and ancient curses were creeping across its lands, slowly draining the life from its farmers. After weeks of silence, by sheer coincidence, the letter of distress finally reached the hands of B.B. Santvic. Its contents were enough to harden her resolve—no matter the cost, she would be the cure to that suffering. It was, after all, her duty as an Arcane Curator: to investigate magical imbalances, curses, and the misuse of the Antesystem. Even though no Urbe—not even the Capital—acknowledged her efforts, she regarded her work as an act of heroism, and had no intention of abandoning it anytime soon. Alongside her unfaithful appointed rider, Daric Vanhallow, Santvic becomes entangled in a conspiracy that threatens not only her innocence, but her life itself. The heroism she once swore to uphold no longer serves her; all that remains is the struggle to buy time. In the lands surrounding Catharsis, she will learn that tragedies in Doural are cultivated with great patience—and this time, Santvic has arrived far too late.
