The SUNEN Saga Begins
SUNEN: Children of the Sun
Across the endless waters of Tyghara, six distant peoples once lived beneath six different suns.
Generations later, their descendants live beneath the roots of Solaris, surrounded by traditions whose meanings have begun to fade and stories that exist somewhere between memory and myth.
At the center is Montu — a child of the buried world carrying questions that have outlived the answers.
