Story

"It is the year 518, before the Convocation. The rebellion of the four royal houses against the crown of Nortander, instigated by a renegade mage, was put down by the queen with the help of a loyal house, but it was a Pyrrhic victory; the war has devastated the land and public order has broken down in many regions, where the law of the strongest now rules. As if that were not enough, the queen was seriously wounded in the last battle of the war and has been in a coma ever since, so the commander-in-chief of the royal forces now runs the affairs of state, either until she wakes up again or dies, in which case her niece succeeds her. The commander-in-chief rules with an iron fist to restore stability to the country, and has used magic, among other things, which is forbidden in Nortander except in exceptional circumstances. But there is one bright spot in these dark times. There are increasing signs that Aonir, the God Father, has returned to Eo. More and more people see Aonir as the only god and pray that he will lead Nortander to a new golden age. Although your father was one of the rebellious mages, you have remained loyal to the queen as a member of the royal army. Will you fulfill your responsibility to Nortander?"
