The luminous Eldergrove

The Luminous Eldergrove In the twilight of magic, roots run deep, and deeper still lies betrayal. In a world bathed in bioluminescent glow, where ancient trees whisper ancestral secrets and every bloodline is etched into the roots of a colossal, living forest, power flows from one eternal source: the Ancestral Lumen. For millions of years, it has granted families unimaginable abilities, shaping civilization through an ever-branching legacy of elemental fury, soulcraft sorcery, and temporal twists. The Lumen is dying, its once, boundless energy siphoned by a mysterious parallel realm. As the magical lifeblood stretches across dimensions, the balance fractures, giving rise to Half-Rooted beings, unstable hybrids of both worlds with powers that defy tradition. In the midst of growing panic and political collapse, a Branchless outcast, born with no power but cursed with the ability to absorb and merge others', awakens to a dangerous destiny. Hunted by both realms, desired by neither, they must uncover the truth behind the Lumen’s decay and make a choice: Save the tree... or burn its legacy down
