Dragon Nest: Warriors’ Dawn

The story unfolds in a mythic era when ancient tensions between humans and elves simmer beneath a fragile peace. Karas’s awakening and the gem’s corrupting power foreshadow a coming storm that tests loyalties. Heroes race toward the capital, forging alliances and facing betrayals that will shape Alteria’s future.

Alteria is a world split between humans, elves, goblinoids and dragons. In the mountains, a dark gem sits in the chest of the sleeping Black Dragon Karas, quietly stirring evil and uniting the beasts into an ominous army. The human kingdom of Saint Heaven hosts a fragile peace while old rivalries flare, and the path to the capital passes through haunted ruins and the dragon’s lair. The setting blends political intrigue with epic fantasy adventure as the alliance forms.

⚔️ Alliance

Old rivalries flare as humans and elves must unite to confront a common threat. The march to Saint Heaven tests trust, diplomacy, and the willingness to put aside past grievances for a larger cause. The narrative shows that unity is essential, even when it comes at personal or political risk.

💔 Sacrifice

Liya’s sacrifice to shield Lambert highlights the cost of courage in battle. The journey demands losses, including Liya’s apparent death and subsequent return, underscoring how personal sacrifice can alter the course of war. The staff of sacrifice strengthens the resolve of the remaining heroes.

🖤 Corruption

The Dragon Gem’s power corrupts those who seek it, sowing distrust and turning allies against each other. Betrayal and temptations test loyalties, reminding the heroes that power can fracture even strong alliances. The struggle is as much about resisting temptation as defeating external foes.

🐉 Dragon Heritage

Revelations about Geraint and Argenta’s half-dragon lineage add complexity to loyalties and trust. Dragon Gems grant immense power but invite fear and resentment from others. The climactic battle hinges on how this dragon heritage is wielded or restrained.
