"Is life truly worth living?"
Haddon
Sky Lord Is a story revolving around a young man who wants to become a Sky Lord, someone that owns one of the islands of the sky, to end the war that has been waiging for years and restore peace to the land. However, Sky Lords are not well liked among the people, and are considered tyrants; the most powerful Sky Lord, named Haddon, is the one that owns the biggest, most important and most valuable island, and is the one who started everything from the war to the cataclysm that made the land shatter and create the islands of the sky. Hale must confront him to restore peace and become the greatest sky lord, along with his True Companions, Rem, Amena, Sean, Juriki and Cat
