Long ago, a war known as the First Ragnarok broke out
between the humanoid Varnir and the demi-human Alterkin.
A cruel and bloody war that resulted in many casualties,
and led several races into slavery at the hands of the Varnir. Or worse, extinction.
While some races have escaped such a fate, there is still
much tension between the Varnir and the Alterkin.
Many view the Alterkin as being no different
than the wild creatures that roam the land.
Seeing them as abominations, the Valhallan
Empire has begun prosecuting various Alterkin tribes.
Our journey begins in the Valhallan capital, with a young
imperial recruit dreaming to become a knight.
This young man's name is...Lloyd Vanheim.
Will he stand by his liege, or will the empire's actions
lead him to seek the truth and discover their dark secrets?
