A bit about the story
Once known for its evergreen and mystical floras, the continent of Veichne is now trapped in an eternal winter; the cause, a calamity no one seems to remember. One man with the power to suspend fatal injuries and diseases appeared one day, and helped stabilize the people of the land. They call him Devonne the Saint.
The Doves, a group of mercenaries, receive a contract on a fateful day to investigate a series of ominous operations orchestrated by the Violas, a corporation serving under Devonne’s rule. What they are set to discover will turn utopias to dust, and unleash cataclysm unto the land, and by extension, the world itself.
