TwilightStar: Heart of Eir

Meet the single player RPG you've been waiting for!

By combining our favourite elements of classic 90’s games with modern mechanics like tactical turn-based combat systems, advanced NPC AIs and a unique magickal system named “Stryah,” our goal is to reinvigorate the genre by returning to a narrative-heavy, tactical gaming format.

Story
Eathral is crumbling.

The Stryah crystals that shine like starlight, imbuing the planet with life are turning black, and pockets of chaos are sprouting all across the continent. But in the reclusive village of Homaran, a tentative peace is sustained amongst its people. Eir lives simply with her father; her life plain but fulfilling. Until he is brutally murdered at the hands of the Caelki, a dark sect who live in service to disorder and the worship of an insatiable god, long since forgotten to legend.

With her closest companion at her heel and a mysterious book written in a language she does not understand, Eir sets out on a quest to find answers that will reshape her destiny and change everything she knows about who she thought she was. Taking refuge in the hands of her allies and the ancestral power that roots itself deeper within her than even she knows, Eir must learn to wield the power of the stars in this tale of magical discovery, betrayal and adventure.

Stryah is the essence of all things; the lifeblood of Eathral. Taking the form of azure crystalline structures littered across the globe, Stryah manifests itself within the six key elements of existence; fire, earth, water, air, light and dark. These Stryah crystals are the spiritual veins of the planet, with many adept wielders capable of manipulating its energy to their own agenda.

Hidden amongst the thousandth thousandth galaxy, Eathral is a small and inconspicuous planet gifted with the ability to retain life by Clavarai; an omnipotent being who thrives upon its abundance. Eathral serves as Clavarai’s key source of power in the universe, and is a testament to the legacy of the deities imbued with the ability to create and wield pure Stryah.

Characters
Eir Tiore is our protagonist, central to the TwilightStar: Heart of Eir narrative. Raised in the village of ...Homaran by her father, Eir's past is littered with days of hard graft and youthful mischief conducted with her life-long friend, Kira Skywind. An optimistic young woman with a streak of naivete about her - after the death of her father Maris, Eir is forced to confront her destiny as eathral's first wielder of pure Stryah.

Born in Homaran to parents long-since dead, Kira has lived her life retying on no one but herself. Her independence lends itself to an intensity of personal character only those who have lived from meal to meal would truly understand. As a result Kira Skywind's fiery sense of loyalty to those few people she cares for often gets her into trouble - especially where her closest friend. Eir is concerned. Her strong sense of self is often a breeder of conflict, as she is regularly compelled to break the rules in order to achieve her goals.
