The ancient land of Athia was once a bountiful land when ruled by its matriarchs, the Tantas. Peace evaporated when a blight ravaged the area, corrupting land and life alike, transforming people into monsters, and even tainting the powerful Tantas. Frey is the only one unaffected by what is now known as the Break, and because she sees no other option, she resigns herself to work with the people of Athia and rid the land of corruption, seeing it as her only hope to find a way home.
