The Celestial Collapse was a calamity caused by a massive object crashing into the eastern lands of Azuma. The devastating impact hurled fragments of land into the skies and seas. With the earth shattered, the power granted by the runes ceased to flow. Soon after, the nature deities also disappeared. The mountains crumbled and the fields withered... The villagers were left with nothing, not even hope. You wake with your mind troubled by the dream of two dragons battling. You don't remember how or why, but a voice echoes within you. "Accept the power of the Earthdancers. Use it to save the land."
