He lived two thousand years ago. He lived the way he thought was right. He killed, created, destroyed, conquered - all for the sake of a goal known to him alone. He sought to learn magic, plunging deeper into darkness, and this desire allowed him to cheat death. His name is Aur, the first magician who managed to gain a full life after death. He has risen, but there are no towers of magicians, no powerful gods, no familiar countries around. It is the middle of the twenty-second century, the vast Russian Empire is ruled by clans, and Aur has nothing but strength, composure - and purpose. A great goal for which you can sacrifice a lot.
