Four races live in harmony, capitalizing on their talents: Elves focus their energy on the ley magic in the land and the plants that live off of it; goblins, on the animals that come so quickly to their outstretched hands; dwarves, on the land itself and what can be made from it, be it materials or paths; and humans, on protecting those who need it most, with weapons or with words.
But there are threats. Outside the mountains of the Fyrgen, a dark army is amassing on the horizon. Tens of thousands of fighters don their armor and pick up their sharp-edged swords, maces, spears, things that the residents of Alfthyrn have had no need of for hundreds of years. They call themselves the Adla, the Diseases, and their leader has but one wish: to be a god.
If he has to drain the land of all its life to do so.

The council of lords and ladies has met at the heart of Alfthyrn, speaking over their table made from the split and polished bones of the last dragon. They spoke for a long time, but they finally came to a decision -- to make a sacrifice.
Heroes, the best and most dangerous, will be chosen, one from each of the four regions and races of the land. They will be sent, and they will either destroy the Adla...or they will be destroyed, themselves, in time. The army of Alfthyrn is small, nothing compared to the forces standing outside the mountains, and if the dark warriors come riding through the passes, the next council of lords will sit at a table made from the split and polished bones of the last one.
It falls to the four heroes to save their homes from a force of a hundred thousand.
