The people of Luzhevya are settling newly discovered mystical lands, and they need defenders. The player is tasked with clearing forest, building huts and barracks, and fighting off enemies in the new territory. The young warrior Poluyan Vyskata has been sent to guide the effort. The horned creatures that walk upright in this land — human-like but not quite human — may be remnants of an ancient time or the remains of an active army. The sword of Vyskata was found alongside the bones of whoever last held it. The ring of Luzhevyani was on that hand. Who killed them, and whether whatever killed them is still present, are questions the new settlement must answer quickly.
