Thousands of years ago, all that is left of the planet Earth is now islands that float in the sky. You will follow the journey of the woman called Eve, as she travels through the land seeking to avenge her father, who was killed in cold blood by bandits of the Kain’s Falcon group from the Desert Lands.

You must rebuild your aerial home to be prepared to face the bandits that took your father’s life, but you will soon find out that they are not the only threats that await you on your journey.

As you explore the world, you will come across different kinds of floating islands that will be filled with all kinds of secrets and loot for you to discover. You will come across all types of islands, travel through forests, snowy lands, farms, and urban jungles.

You can capture territories, by either forging alliances, or clearing out islands and expanding your faction. This will give you new resources, researchers, and other features that will be available as you grow your influence.
