The wizard Odu created two runes to balance good and evil in the world — the Runes of Eternity and Destruction — and sealed them away before his death. A later wizard named Drodu stole the Rune of Destruction, was corrupted by it, and retreated to master his new powers. The Eternity Rune was shattered into six pieces and scattered across the land of Thebryll. Odu rose from his grave and sent a forest warrior named Aloe — newly titled Rune Seeker — to recover the pieces and prevent the world's destruction.
