For as long as you and your people can remember, your homeland of Mercia has been under the tyrannical rule of Etheldred, a despotic sorceress who resides in a seemingly impenetrable tower in the far, frozen north. Every seven years, she sends her armies south to select the people of each canton to be subjected to a life of slavery, and they are never heard from again. A call goes out to champions across the land, begging them to end her rule.

An elf, a wizard, and a marauder answer the call. Join this band of heroes on their quest to defeat evil and defeat Etheldred once and for all!
