Synopsis/Details
In a far-future, post-apocalyptic world, the remnants of civilization are governed by a 20-member council deeply influenced by Persian culture and a love for poetry. Their planned economy hinges on a single, vital resource, a powerful energy source that is suddenly stolen. This act of betrayal shatters the council's delicate balance, exposing hidden alliances and simmering rivalries among its members.
The theft launches a desperate investigation that takes the council beyond the familiar landscapes of their world. They uncover an ancient, interconnected network and a mysterious dimensional rift, the Obsidian Gate, used by the thieves. As the council grapples with the immediate threat of their resource being gone, a deeper conspiracy unfolds, revealing the theft to be connected to a dying, powerful entity existing outside of known reality, which has been imprisoned, and is now seeking a way to break free.
Led by the weary Lord Valerius and the pragmatic Lady Anya, the council must learn to navigate not only the political machinations within their own ranks but also an ancient, cosmic power that threatens to unravel the very fabric of existence. Their journey takes them to a hidden archive, where they discover a long lost civilization, the architects of their world, who made a pact with a force they could not control. This leads them on a dangerous path towards the heart of the dying entity, a place beyond the boundaries of their understanding. They learn they must act as a conduit for the ancient power, drawing upon the ‘Celestial Harmonics’ to try and restore balance.
Their journey tests their loyalties and their understanding of their world and the universe around it. Alliances are forged and shattered, as power struggles and personal vendettas complicate their quest. The series blends political intrigue with sci-fi mystery, exploring themes of trust, power, and the nature of survival with a sharp comedic edge derived from the clash of personalities and cultures.
As they delve deeper into the cosmic mystery, they realize they've been chosen by a ‘Celestial Shepherd’, a guardian of the balance of existence, not just to mend their world, but to become part of a much larger struggle. This choice leads them through perilous trials, transforming their perceptions and challenging their understanding of reality and forcing them to confront the price of ultimate understanding and power, leading to a showdown against a desperate, dying entity and the chance to reshape the course of their own existence. The series culminates in a battle against the cosmic forces that seek to undo the very fabric of space and time, leaving Anya and Li, irrevocably changed, with an uncertain future and a profound responsibility.
