The Shards of Etherealum – Are you the Hero and Veilbreaker or the Villain of the story?

Veilbreaker: The Shards of Etherealum

For centuries, the world thrived under the balance of Etherealum, a celestial crystal that bound the forces of creation. But when Varethis the Unyielding shattered it in his lust for power, the fabric of reality was torn, giving birth to the Veil—a creeping force of corruption that distorts magic, warps nature, and consumes all it touches.

Now, as the Veil spreads unchecked, a prophecy stirs. The lost shards of Etherealum call to those brave enough to restore them. Among the chosen is Kael, the Veilbreaker, a haunted wanderer seeking redemption, guided by the celestial dragon Arcanis. But he is not alone in the hunt. Veilspawned horrors, spectral guardians, and remnants of a lost order stand between him and the truth.

Across elemental trials, forgotten ruins, and storm-wracked landscapes, Kael and his allies must prove their worth to reclaim the shards—before the Harbinger of the Veil awakens to plunge the world into eternal darkness.

Will balance be restored? Or will the last light of Etherealum be snuffed out forever?

A high-fantasy epic filled with ancient magic, relentless trials, and a battle for the fate of existence, Veilbreaker: The Shards of Etherealum is a thrilling adventure for fans of Dungeons & Dragons, dark fantasy, and world-shattering destinies.

Whats the idea here?

The concept of this story is to encourage a world of fantasy and creativity via the medium of words and a fantasy world.  This book isn’t a novel (far from it), it isn’t perfect, but that’s what makes it special.  It can be a bedtime story, it can be the source of further ideas, it can be the inspiration that starts your mind working on your own story.  It can be the basis of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.  In short its just a bit of find to trigger your creative mind and take you away from the chores of the real world for a few minuets.

The inspiration came from wanting to add a story to one of the 3D printed dragons that I print and sell.  To add a little fun to the figurines.  After all all dragons have a story to tell……..
