STORY

Should ever wicked war resume,

A dragon shall the sun consume,

And sibling souls be born as once before.

But till the land be steeped in blood,

May sovereign twins, however good,

Ne'er hope to rule in peace forever more.

- Ancient Prophecy

After a thousand years of peace, the Seven Realms suddenly collapse into conflict as if guided by a mysterious and malicious force. Now, you must lead a band of powerful heroes in a quest to defeat evil and save the war-torn world!
