Scars of Meskarra

Peace is a Choice. Force is a Destiny.

You sought stillness in a quiet coastal village, burying the blood-soaked past of a mercenary to live a humble life as its Spiritual One. But peace is a fragile thing. Coaxed back into the fray by a shady blackmailer threatening your home, you must set out across a sun-baked antiquity to hunt the broken Shards of the world. To save your village, you must stop running from the shadow of who you used to be. For good or for bad, your past is a part of your whole—and wholeness is the journey.
