The Hollow (UNDER EDITING)

Some wield the Stones for power, some for protection, some by force. But they all stay because of the feeling. That impossibly blissful air of peace that settles over their bones. Addiction sets in before common sense can, leading them to want more until their need consumes them. It's a game of thrones within the realm of Astryx, and the gods have long since left their sides.
One ancient queen, risen from the dead against the seven Courts of the realm - fighting for the power of the Stones.
With their world still in ruins from her first attack, the Courts struggle to fight back in full force. Will the few souls forced to pick up swords be able to beat her? Or will the world again surrender to the power of the Death Queen and her Stones, forced to live under her tyrannical rule for another century?
