The Torch of Nether's Gaze is a powerful artifact steeped in the dark history of Coia. It traces its origins back to a mysterious sect that thrived on wild magic during the infamous Shadow War. Forged in the corrupted depths of Bukhara Spire, this torch stood as a beacon for untamed magical forces and was hidden away for centuries among the remnants of the Dragonbone Vanguard's last battles. By concealing its power, the sect aimed to protect the world from the consequences of its raw, destructive energy.
The destiny of the Torch took a turn when it was unearthed by an eccentric explorer known as Dig the Weird. He was probing the secretive paths of the Cocker Mountains, driven by a quest to uncover his own mysterious origins. His inadvertent discovery released whispers of the torch’s existence back into the world. Little did he know, the Entropics, a faction with keen interests in the arcane, had been monitoring the torch, believing it held essential insights to stabilize the chaotic mystic energies plaguing the Spires.
The Entropics see potential in the Torch to redefine the balance of power throughout Coia. With wild magic still swirling wildly in the depths of the spires, the anticipation surrounding the artifact's capacity for change would only heighten tensions. As both Dig the Weird and the Entropics pursue their objectives—one for personal truth and the other for a means to control the chaotic mystic forces—the fate of the Torch of Nether's Gaze will undoubtedly shape the future landscape of Coia forever. Thus, the ancient story of the torch intertwines with the fate of its unwitting bearer and the shadowy factions hunting it, setting the stage for a conflict that could resonate through the ages.
