The blue, peaceful death extended toward the horizon in all directions. Islands of snow dotted the waters of ice-lined fjords, slowly shifting with the arctic currents. The frigid water flowed into crystal caverns that seemed to reach endlessly across the wasteland. Beautiful formations grew from the chilly waters that caught the sunlight as it spilled down upon them, bending it and casting it in all directions. Spires of ice stretched toward the clear blue sky in bitter jealousy, trying to escape the biting emptiness of the motionless world around them.
Welcome to the world of The Elder Staves

The sky-city of Tyr, floating above the frozen
wasteland of a dead world, is a place of spells and
skyscrapers,
where the ruling council of elders struggles to maintain its power
against the growing influence of technology. A clandestine rebellion
is underway, assassinating nobles and threatening to topple the
Council entirely, while far beneath the city a haunting, malevolent
presence from Tyr's mystical past silently gathers strength.
But a far more pressing issue is at hand – for the first time since
its founding millennia ago, Tyr has begun falling toward the surface.
