Summoner

Story

The legacy of summoners is a power greater than magic. Summoners use channeling rings to summon demons and golems, supernatural servants and elemental creatures. Summoners have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are revered as saviors and feared as destroyers. The Chosen are born with a mark on one hand, but the origins of this gift were forgotten long ago. Joseph fears his power more than death itself. As a child, Joseph tried to save his village from attackers, but the demon he summoned slaughtered the villagers while Joseph watched in horror as his misguided feat caused the deaths of those he loved. Joseph was banished and ostracized and vowed never to summon a demon again. Over the years, the enigmatic Yago counsels and guides the boy, preparing him to fulfill his prophecy. As the invading armies of Orenia march across the Median Plain, Yago urges Joseph to search for the ancient rings. Reluctantly, Joseph agrees. On his journey, Joseph meets three young adventurers who become his companions - Flece, Jekhar and Rosalind. Flece is a cunning thief and cynical rogue who grew up on the streets of Lenele. Jekhar's family died when Joseph summoned a demon a long time ago, and now the warrior seeks revenge. Reluctantly, he helps Joseph on his quest. Rosalind is a novice of the Order of Iona and longs to become a mage-priestess and guardian of the divine scrolls of Iona. Rosalind, the daughter of Yago, is jealous of Joseph's power and hates her father for dedicating his life to the Summoner's cause. Her quest takes her across the world - to the sunken realm of Ikaemos and into the harsh wilderness of Liangshan, from the Khosani fortress to the jade river that flows from the sky. In the ruins of lost civilizations and the temples of Orenia, they search for the Summoner's Rings.
