The Venox Empire has invaded the peaceful land of Ilethia — burning towns, driving survivors to the hinterlands, and tearing into the Earth for mineral resources. In doing so, they release Miasma, a long-buried corruptive force that infests the land and drives creatures into a blind rage. Even Ilethia's four Guardian deities — the steadfast Minotaur, the fierce Gryphon, the wise Phoenix, and the kind Unicorn — are not immune. They withdraw into their temples, which twist into hostile gauntlets. If defeated in battle, the Miasma can be purged from them, and they will lend their powers to whoever freed them. Armed with stolen armor and an imperial sword, you set out to free the Guardians, combine their abilities, and drive the Venox Empire from the land.
