For thousands of years nations have fought for mana wells, which are now essential to modern life.
Each nation has unique weapons, talents, and battlefield-warping effects to emerge victorious.
But be careful, each opponent may have a few tricks they've picked up from another nation...

A discovery at an ancient vault may be the last hope of a people driven underground...
