My name is Jack Wilde and up until recently, I had the perfect life. This all came crashing down around me in epic proportions when I discovered an antique compass. It turns out, the compass has a mind of its own and decided that moment was a good time to return home, taking me along with it. Now I am in an insane new world called Feira, where magic and monsters are very real. I shouldn’t have been able to get here in the first place and my only hope of getting home is to find the most powerful artifact in this world, the Sana Artifact. The only clue is the riddle written on the back of the dumb compass that brought me here. To make matters worse, the ruler of northern Feria, King Sephtis, has discovered the compasses existence and dispatched his bloody left hand, Lord Wrath, to acquire it by any means necessary. At least I have a few new friends to help keep me out of trouble.Dove is a mysterious Healer, with the ability to heal any ailment or injury. Her vast knowledge of spell work and the Old Language is worth her weight in gold, but I can’t shake the feeling she is hiding something is. Then there is Soren, a vengeful sailor with a magical ship and crew. He is an Omni, a class of magic specializing crafting objects imbued with magical abilities. Soren is searching for something and there is no limit to how far he will go.This is the ultimate treasure hunt and we each have our own need for the Sana Artifact, but one thing is for certain. . . I will do whatever it takes to get home. I just hope to remain the same person in the process.
