Dar-e-Karkheh is a prehistoric marvel: a sprawling fortress-city built entirely within the intertwined, fossilized skeletons of thirty colossal leviathans. Farhad-dar is a nimble bone-carver and rogue who races across the spinal catwalks, carving live runes into his daggers to farm the System’s kinetic skill trees while dodging patrols. Niloufar-shah is the elite captain of the Ivory Guard, armed with a mammoth-tusk shield and sworn to crush any infiltrator who threatens the city’s skeletal foundations.

When a seismic tremor activates the System’s Leviathan Siege, the entire metropolis divides into a high-stakes territory war for the central Marrow Heart. Forced onto opposite sides of a deadly factional conflict, Farhad-dar and Niloufar-shah must duel across swinging bone-bridges and hollow vertebrae. Magic in this world demands constant motion; standing still means losing the charge. To survive the factional siege, both champions must carve their way to victory before the ancestral bones collapse beneath them.
