Hanzo, seen from behind on a moonlit balcony, looks toward the illuminated Lunar Palace with its white towers, blue roofs and waterfalls.

Act I

Hanzo and the Seven Moons

“Before time, hope existed.”

“Before the world broke, there was a home worth protecting.”

The Act I teasers

But too much light… invites the dark.

Hanzo runs up the lantern-lit stairs of the Third Kingdom on the night of the First Light, with the Lunar Palace glowing across the water.

Welcome to the Third Kingdom

Be that hero

Every light needs someone willing to carry it.

Walk the streets on the night of the First Light,

and find out how far you would go to keep it burning.

Talk to Hanzo

The Third Kingdom

A kingdom built beneath the light of the moon.

A land of villages, guardians, ancient traditions and a royal family sworn to protect its people.

The Lunar Palace at night: white stone towers, deep blue roofs, crescent banners, bridges and fountains beneath a full moon.

The Lunar Palace

The heart of the Third Kingdom.

Home of Governor Hanko and Princess Hamishka.

A symbol of protection, tradition and hope beneath the Seven Moons.

Ask Hanzo about Kusa

He is seventeen, he has never left the Third Kingdom, and he will tell you anything you want to know about home.

Hanzo only knows what he knows in Act I. Ask him about his village, his family, his friends or the road south.

Young Hanzo runs laughing through the sunlit streets of Kusa with a wooden sword, a small dog running at his side.

Every light… begins somewhere.

“All my life, I’ve been trying to find a path…

…somewhere I would belong.”

Hanzo, 17

Hanzo and Jimish run side by side through a moonlit forest filled with glowing blue fireflies.

One more adventure

Before legends, wars and ancient powers, they were simply two boys from Kusa who wanted to see what existed beyond the next hill.

Jimish“One more adventure.”

Hanzo“That’s what you said last time.”

Jimish“And we survived.”

Zakuna carries a basket of fresh bread through the warm, crowded market of Kusa.

Before the world changed

There was bread on the table.

There were lights in the streets.

There was someone waiting for Hanzo to come home.

Princess Hamishka stands beneath the glowing Solis Tree in the palace gardens, beside a moonlit lake and waterfalls.

The Solis Tree

Blessed by the ancient monks of the moon

to grant protection to their families and to the people they love.

The Night of the First Light

“When darkness covers our path, what will House Lunar offer?”

“Direction.”

“When fear divides the kingdom?”

“Unity.”

“When power forgets whom it serves?”

“No crown stands above a life.”

But too much light… invites the dark.

And then something changed

Guardians stopped returning.

The southern roads fell silent.

Animals refused to approach the forest.

And somewhere beyond the light, something was waiting.

Inside the dwarven city of Herebor, a bearded dwarf warrior grips his war hammer as a tall shadow demon rises from the smoke behind him.

Herebor

“Herebor is not a place.

It is our home.”

Gorim

Hanzo, wounded and covered in dust, grips a fallen sword among the burning ruins of Herebor.

A guardian feels fear…

…and still does what must be done.

The saga

Act I is only the beginning

The story does not end in the Third Kingdom. These are the three acts being written now.

Act II

Disciple of Dawn

Writing

After leaving Kusa, Hanzo and Jimish follow Akihiro to the Second Kingdom. At the Solar Academy, Hanzo begins to train and to understand the strange power he carries. While he tries to find his place among new companions, he discovers that the safety of the kingdom is far more fragile than it looks.

Act III

The Legacy of the Seven Moons

Writing

Hanzo reaches the Fourth Kingdom, home to secrets that stayed out of his reach for years. There he meets the Moons and finds traces of Sakure, his father, and of the war that marked his family. While he looks for answers, the tension between the kingdoms grows and forces him to decide what he is willing to protect.

Act IV

The War of Perdition

Writing

Years later, Hanzo travels to the Fifth Kingdom to follow the trail Sakure left behind. Among dangerous streets, technology and networks of power that are hard to tell apart, his search brings him close to the past of Hainz and Matzuken. What he finds tests his loyalties, his relationships and the person he is becoming.
