## Synopsis

“All hail Thalleous the formerly dead!”

Fifty years ago, something alien came to the planet of Ardonia.

Five years ago, Thalleous Sendaris - leader of the Sendaris clan and hero of the Great War - is killed in battle with one of his greatest adversaries

Now: Ardonia is a battleground in a war of inter-dimensional consequences.  The Resistance-Alliance war has raged on the planet for months without a sign of peace, however, that might change.

The great Ky’Thalleous, rightful leader of the Sendaris clan, has returned from the dead.  The Resistance seem skeptical - but they need all of the allies they can get.

However, they soon discover a shocking secret from the past.

The consequences of the Great War will soon rear their ugly heads as the ultimate weapon is brought to Ardonia by a being that has been present on Ardonia for fifty years, waiting for the right moment to begin its masterplan.

## Plot

### ReVival (1)

Fifty years ago, Thalleous Sendaris wakes up in the wreckage of the House Sendaris. He gives an order to execute any of the member of the Doctor who thwarted his plans. That is when the corpse of one of his advisors stands up with yellow glowing eyes. The corpse starts to laugh.

Thalleous joins in in the laughter.

Several years later, Thalleous and a human scholar named Hawken travelled to the main base of the Voltaris clan - the House Voltaris in the Barrier Mountains - to see if the rumours that the Voltaris clan were amassing an army were true. They were right and a fight broke out with Thalleous being killed by the new leader of the Voltaris - Tygren Voltaris, Hawken, however, was able to escape and send for more troops to stop the Voltaris from taking over Ardonia.
