Long before mortals walked the earth, there were the Ancients—a godlike race whose mastery of technology and energy shaped the foundations of the world. They left behind remnants of their power: enigmatic devices called Ancient tech, and an eternal, raw energy that only they could wield. While their true purpose and ultimate fate remain a mystery, their legacy lives on in descendants, rare individuals born with the ability to harness the Ancients’ energy.
Centuries after the Ancients vanished, the world evolved around their relics. Societies arose, each shaped by their relationship to the ancient artifacts. In the north lay Wymeria, a land renowned for its warriors. Wyms, its people, were born with small openings in their bodies, designed to connect to specialized tech that enhanced their abilities. Chief among these were Wymerian wings, shimmering constructs of energy that allowed them to fly. For the Wyms, flight symbolized strength and unity. Those who failed to master it were “clipped,” their wings removed, marking them as exiles unworthy of the Wymerian ideal.
Beyond Wymeria, the rest of the world is fragmented—a mix of thriving cities, forgotten ruins, and wild lands teeming with creatures both natural and supernatural. Among the most feared are the Ancient beasts, shadows of the creatures that once roamed the earth. Though long extinct, these monsters occasionally manifest under mysterious conditions, often tied to Ancient energy.
In this world, Architects emerged—mages and scholars who studied Ancient tech and its applications. While some sought to preserve or understand the Ancients’ legacy, others pursued darker ambitions. Among the latter is Mr. Death, a ruthless Architect who uses Ancient tech to fuel experiments in pursuit of ultimate power. His mastery of energy and his willingness to destroy anything in his path have earned him infamy across the land.
At the heart of this story lies Clara, a Wymerian outcast forced to survive in the shadows. During the war that ravaged her homeland, Mr. Death implanted her with a cerebral leech, a piece of Ancient tech that feeds on her fear and spawns Ancient beasts to hunt her. Over the years, Clara has learned to live with her affliction, relying on Ancient tools and her own wits to survive. But she remains haunted by questions: Why was she chosen? What purpose does the leech serve?
When Clara encounters the Dreamer, a mysterious figure with knowledge of the Ancients and a hidden agenda, she learns the truth about her heritage: she is a descendant, one of the last living connections to the Ancients’ power. With this revelation, Clara is thrust into a conflict that spans generations—a battle for control over the energy that shaped the world and the few who can wield it.
As Clara journeys to unlock her potential, the stakes become clear. The Ancients’ energy is both a gift and a curse, tied not only to her survival but to the future of the world itself. Her path intersects with ancient ruins, wild forests, and the fractured remnants of a once-glorious civilization. And as Mr. Death’s shadow looms ever closer, Clara must decide how to wield her newfound strength against the forces that seek to control her—and whether the power of a descendant is enough to rewrite her fate.
This is the world of Whispers: a land shaped by the echoes of an ancient past, where courage, resilience, and destiny collide in the shadow of forgotten gods.
