Chapter 327 The Shattered Crown

• Years had passed since the peace between kingdoms had settled over Elandor, a time of rebuilding and growing unity. But the fragile harmony that once held the realm together was slowly unraveling, like threads pulled apart by the wind. Kaelen and Ariella, now united by their trials, were at the center of this shifting world—heroes, rulers, and figures of great power, yet unable to ignore the looming darkness on the horizon.
• In the royal courts of the once-thriving Kingdom of Valoria, word had spread that the lands had begun to stir again. Unrest was brewing, and whispers of ambition filled the air. Where peace had once flourished, now the smell of blood and conquest tainted the winds. From the deserts of Amrath to the cold peaks of the Aleric Mountains, the kingdoms surrounding Elandor were awakening to their own desires for dominance.
• The first spark ignited in Valoria, a kingdom that had long been an ally of Elandor. King Roderick, once a steadfast supporter of Kaelen and Ariella’s reign, had died under mysterious circumstances. His sudden death had left a power vacuum, and now, his ambitious daughter, **Queen Isolde**, sought to carve her own path.
