The Earthen Reign

PRESENTATION The Earthen Reign is a 2D fantasy old-school RPG in the vein of Vagrant Hearts and the old classics. Long ago, a dying world forced mankind to flee beneath the surface, forging a new civilization in the depths — the Earthen Reign. Now, generations later, the time has come to reclaim the surface. As Lyra, eldest of three royal sisters, prepares to ascend the throne, hope stirs for a return to the world above. With her steadfast sister Lysandra at her side, she seeks a path back — to restore, rebuild, and reclaim. But not all share that vision. Malindra, the youngest, a sorceress of death and shadow, believes the underworld is their true dominion — and that returning would doom them all. As ideals clash and blood ties fray, an ancient conflict brews in the deep. When darkness threatens to silence Lyra’s voice, it falls upon Lysandra to rise — and decide the fate of both realms.
