About This Game
A ancient magical artifacts known as the Balls of Light once sustained peace throughout the kingdom of Alefgard until a sorcerer called the Dragonlord seized them for his own dark purposes, plunging the realm into chaos and unleashing monsters across the land. The legendary hero Erdrick had originally secured these treasures for the kingdom but vanished while attempting to stop the Dragonlord's corruption. Generations later, under the rule of King Lorik XVI, the tyrant strikes again by kidnapping Princess Gwaelin and retreating to his fortress at Castle Charlock. A mysterious knight arrives at court claiming descent from the long-lost Erdrick, and with the blessing of the prophet Mahetta, the king commissions this unlikely hero to breach the Dragonlord's stronghold and restore peace to the kingdom.
