The Story

In the city of Roost, an unknown enemy is corrupting its Glow citizens. Glow eyes and plumage are turning a sickening colour as they head for the skies to fulfil a dark bidding to spread Disbelief throughout the floating Nests.

The Glow are one of the kingdom's eight ruling fae known to us humans as Friends. Usually such peace-loving folk, recently they have undergone changes, their eyes and feathers discolouring and their behaviour becoming erratic. Many are now heading skywards and teaming with greedy wyrms to steal and hoard sacred Nimbus eggs... But why?

This is where you come in! 

Playing the descendents of legendary rulers Arthur and Guinevere, as a Pendragon you have been tasked with investigating this mystery and bringing an end to the corruption of the Glow. Where INSPIRISLES had you collecting Belief to heal the World Tree, this time around you must prevent the Nests from sinking by protecting the Nimbus eggs and halting the spread of Disbelief, our world's negative energy. 

The Nests are an archipelago of islands floating high above the fae kingdom. Each island is home to communities of Glow and the sacred Nimbus, a type of bird thought to bring luck and prosperity to all. With the emergence of corrupted Glow and thieving wyrms, the Nimbus mother has been driven from her Nest, leaving only her fledglings to protect the precious eggs.

Feathering

Inspirisles established Shaping, a technique used to wield the four elements. It is also our foundation for sign language. With the original game, we took you from the basics of fingerspelling the alphabet right through to beginner conversations. 

With Overisles, we are expanding your learning even further. In order to travel between the scattered Nests and tackle Disbelief, you must learn to ride fledgling Nimbus. You will need to build trust with these beautiful creatures and this can only be achieved through Feathering, a technique not dissimilar to horse whispering but expressed through gestures instead of words.

Where Shaping is taught by the wyrms, Feathering is practiced exclusively by Silver Apples. These seasoned Pendragons entered a knightly order after fulfilling their pact and now protect the kingdom from the threat of Disbelief.
