Xylos Echo of Kings

Xylos Echo of Kings

Description

The desert wind howls, a mournful dirge across the crimson sands. Above, two suns beat down with merciless intensity, bleaching the bones of forgotten creatures and baking the crumbling ruins of a civilization swallowed by the unforgiving dunes. You awaken. Not with a gasp, not with a scream, but with a slow, agonizing return of sensation. Your skin feels like parchment stretched taut over brittle bone. Memory flickers – a kaleidoscope of shimmering spires, whispering metal, and the chilling dread of an encroaching darkness. Then, nothing. A void. You are a Construct. A vessel. An echo of something that was. Built by the long-lost Architect Kings to serve as guardians, protectors, or perhaps… weapons. Your purpose is shrouded in the mists of time, buried beneath centuries of dust and decay. Around you, the skeletal remains of other Constructs lie scattered, their metallic bodies rusting under the harsh glare. Some are shattered, their intricate mechanisms exposed to the elements. Others are eerily intact, frozen mid-stride, their lifeless eyes fixed on a horizon they will never reach. A faint hum resonates deep within your core, a primal directive pulling you forward. To where? You don't know. But something – a program ingrained within your very being – compels you to move, to search, to discover. Your first steps are tentative, clumsy. Your internal power source sputters, threatening to extinguish the nascent spark of your consciousness. But you persevere. The desert stretches before you, a vast and desolate tapestry woven with danger and untold secrets. This is Xylos. A world ravaged by war, consumed by time, and forgotten by the gods. And you, the last of your kind, are its only hope. Your journey begins now. Will you uncover the truth behind the Architect Kings' demise? Will you rebuild what was lost? Or will you succumb to the relentless forces that have already claimed so much? The answers lie hidden within the sands. Good luck, Construct. You'll need it.
