Song of Illusory Dust

On a vast continent where day and night stretch on in their endless turning, and snowy plains coexist with a living hell, many peoples have made their homes and raised their generations, including the Baimin, Dingling, and Fire Apes. The sparks of civilization coexist with the shadows of the unknown, and the prelude to a conflict stretching from personal bonds to the fate of every living thing is quietly unfolding.

Unwilling to be constrained by the established order, a Baimin girl sets out on a journey, yearning for freedom. A Dingling youth, having endured turmoil and displacement, makes his original convictions his guiding light as he searches for a way home to protect his people. Their paths quietly converge amid a world in chaos, and together with many others who hold different beliefs, they are swept into the current of the age. From settlements where cooking smoke curls into the sky to the shifting territories of different peoples, civilizations collide and mingle, the pursuit of freedom and equality endures, and a secret confrontation between light and darkness unfolds. As the shadow of the unknown gradually spreads across the continent, only by overcoming divisions and holding fast to their original convictions can they find a way forward through the fog. Against the backdrop of an immense world, this story sings of conviction, protection, and the survival of civilization.
