About This Game

In the medieval kingdom of Northies, the fiercest warrior the realm had ever produced — Lord Gran — was charged with treason and beheaded the day a new young king was crowned. Everyone loyal to him was exiled or killed. The conspiracy was driven by Lord Barnett, a sadistic leader of the Holy Army who had been quietly seizing control of the church, the nobility, and ultimately the king himself. A decade earlier, Lord Gran had been saved from a war wound by a child and the child's village. He repaid them with training, swordsmanship, and resources. Lord Barnett repaid them by burning the village to ash in the name of purging infidels. The child who escaped has grown up with one goal, and with allies found on the road, that goal is now within reach.
