More than a hundred years earlier, astral sorcerers oppressed by the Empire united and founded the Nebulis Dominion in the heart of their hidden realms, led by three original houses: Lou, Hydra, and Zoa. Under the guidance of Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII, the Dominion strives to reduce losses in its struggle against the Empire—a policy that the radical Zoas reject. Hostilities among the houses intensify as the forthcoming vote to choose a new ruler nears. The Zoas are prepared to do whatever it takes for victory, yet their triumph could spark a cataclysmic war.
Princess Aliceliese "Alice" Lou Nebulis XI must ally with any prospective partners to pursue her ultimate aim of ending the long‑standing conflict that haunts all parties. That alliance includes Iska, one of the Empire"s fiercest warriors and her chief adversary.
