STORY

The once vibrant world of Filgaia is
slowly dying, a result of some cataclysmic event lost in the dim, misty reaches
of the past. The few pathetic remnants of once mighty nations are caught up in
an endless cycle of war, fighting over the ever dwindling natural resources.
Amidst the carnage and slow decay, there is one kingdom that has until recently
managed to avoid the chaos and suffering plaguing its neighbors; the kingdom of
Elesius.

However, the kingdom is slowly
descending into anarchy with the king inflicted with a mysterious illness that
has kept him bed-ridden, intensifying the future uncertainty as the
heir-apparent disappeared a year earlier and is presumed dead. An opportunistic
senate has formed its own police force and is gradually usurping power from the
royal family.

It is against this backdrop of
political intrigue and social decay that the main character Clarissa Arwin,
accompanied by her half-brother and protector, Felius, enter Elesius hot on the
trail of Rupert Dandridge, the man who murdered her mother. What started out as
a personal vendetta soon turns into an epic battle to not only keep a kingdom
from falling, but to save the world of Filgaia from being turned into an
uninhabitable wasteland.
