Monsters and beasts roamed the earth and were slain by soldiers and adventurers who were, in turn, killed by stronger threats.

It's been nearly a decade since Rakta Velbrun of Gelvurt battled the evil Zactrik. Eight long years, to be exact, during which he slept the sleep of death, and those who loved and relied on him were forced to grieve, cope, and move on as best they could.
