The world is a high-fantasy realm where gods once walked openly among mortals. Over time, gods were feared, blamed for wars, and cast out or sealed away as kingdoms pursued peace without divine influence. Shrines fell to ruin, worship faded, and divine magic destabilized. Now a creeping magical curse known as the Hollowing spreads across the land: crops turn to ash, people lose memories and identity, villages fall silent while still alive. The curse threatens to unravel the balance between mortal and divine power entirely.
