2. Lore & Story
The world of Teleria is under siege by the dark lord Siroth. You, the Summoner, are called upon to gather legendary champions, forge powerful artifacts, and restore balance. The lore draws from classic high fantasy — ancient dragons, corrupted knights, mystical elves, and demonic spawns.
Key story arcs include the Queen of Lies campaign, the Doom Tower mysteries, and the ongoing Hydra narrative. Each faction — from the Sacred Order to the Lizardmen — has a rich backstory that influences champion abilities and synergies.
