AETHERBORNE
“The Armor does not make the Hero. The Heart makes the Armor.”
A tactical card game set on Planet Xylos. Choose your faction. Evolve your champions. Battle for the future.
The Civil War of Stewardship
Planet Xylos. The Seed Has Fallen.
Xylos was a “Super-Earth” — a world of silence and verdant green, teeming with mega-flora and bioluminescent oceans. For eons, the ecosystem existed in brutal but balanced harmony.
Then the sky tore open. Seven crystalline monoliths — The Arks — descended from orbit. They released trillions of nanite-infused gemstones called Cores. These Biological Amplifiers bond with their host's nervous system, creating a symbiotic Living Armor.
The animals of Xylos interpreted The Arrival differently. Five directives emerged. Five factions formed. The war for the planet's future begins with you.

The Integration

The Overdrive
Creature and machine become one. They transform into an Avatar — a bio-mechanical titan.
