    After Halley's Comet was destroyed in a magical battle in 1759, the event known as The Sundering separated the New World from the Old, transforming America into a land where magic thrives and history is forever altered. In this new 1803, young Meriwether Lewis attends a lecture by the esteemed wizard Benjamin Franklin in St. Louis, only for it to be interrupted by a winged, fire-breathing creature reminiscent of his Welsh legends. Following the chaos, Franklin reveals a looming evil in the uncharted Arcane Territories west of the Mississippi. He commissions Lewis and his skilled partner William Clark to embark on an extraordinary expedition to explore, document indigenous tribes, and seek a route to the Pacific Ocean—and possibly beyond the magical barrier to Europe. While the Sundering has granted the original colonists unexpected magical abilities, it has also sparked sorcery inspired by native legends. The Arcane Territories promise both natural and magical perils for the journey. Joined by the brilliant shape-shifting sorceress Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark set out on an unparalleled adventure across a landscape untouched by European eyes.

    In 1759, the passage of Halley's Comet causes a catastrophic event that separates the New World from the Old. A new mountain range emerges in the Mid-Atlantic, and ships can no longer navigate between the two worlds, with many disappearing in the attempt. The comet also unleashes magical forces, leading slaves to harness African witchcraft, bringing forth monsters into America. Native tribes follow suit, while some European settlers blend Old World technology with sorcery. The Atlantic is plagued by kraken, revenants haunt Jamaica, and various supernatural entities roam the streets of New York, creating chaos as magic spreads uncontrollably. The Iroquois Confederacy collapses, with the Onondaga Council Fire extinguished and tribes like the Seneca and Cayuga breaking away to follow their own leaders, while the Mohawks ally with the English. Meanwhile, the English and French, previously on the brink of war, must now consider an unprecedented alliance against the emerging dark powers. They face the daunting task of uniting politically behind the young English prince Edward, the last royal bloodline in a world transformed by the Sundering.
