Mythic: Allied to the End

Jack… one man, a teenager… a reluctant leader, is all that stands up to save the world from a great evil.

The world of Oara is a surreal place, upheld by the abstract laws of myth and wonder.

Strange and marvelous beasts roam its vast lands and waters.

With formidable kingdoms and arcane villages, Oara is a world of awe and splendor…until now.

Evil is coming.

An attack by pirates and a sudden warhammer blow to Jack’s rib cage catapulting him over the railing of the Reyden Oath’s vessel Seadragon, dramatically and abruptly alters Jack’s future.

Being an eager teenager, and wanting to prove himself as a man, Jack yearns for a life of adventure.

He soon finds that his wish has come to him in a stranger manner than he could ever have imagined. When he is faced with the impending rise of legendary beings of evil, he realizes that he needs to act before it is too late.

Can he do it alone? Should he do it alone?

While on his quest Jack meets and befriends others on their own spiritual journeys. Each in turn joins the alliance in support of Jack’s mission, bringing their specialized skills and experience to the team.

With the help of his newly formed alliance, Jack must lead a long, arduous quest to restore the peace of Oara.

Can they do it? Should they do it? If not them, then who?
