The Breaking of the Stillpoint: The First Morning of the World (The Chronicles of Aoem)

Before history began, the world stopped.

Time does not move.
The sun never rises or sets.
The same perfect day repeats forever.

When the being known as Malach binds the flow of time to prevent all suffering, the world becomes a flawless prison—safe, silent, and slowly dying.

To heal the wound, the Creator sends four champions into the frozen world. Once radiant beings of living harmony, they must become mortal and descend through layers of repeating reality, living laws, and shattered reflections of what the world might have been.

Each must face a realm where time itself is trapped, and confront the fear that froze the world in the first place.

But even if they succeed, breaking the Stillpoint will not restore the world as it was.

It will restore the world as it can be.

And from that first uncertain dawn, every age of history will begin.
