In the kingdom of Dustport, the sudden death of the King has left his only son, the 8-year-old Aldric Valenor Galathiel, as the sole heir to the throne. With the throne now vulnerable, whispers spread of the King's pact with an enigmatic and malevolent force known only as The Darkness. Bound as a tributary to this sinister entity, Dustport's stability rests on the fragile shoulders of the young prince.

Sensing opportunity in the wake of the King's demise, Orc warlords and vile creatures of the realm have grown bold. Rumors suggest they may seek to exploit the kingdom’s weakened state, and perhaps renegotiate or defy the dark pact forged with the fallen King, threatening the very future of Dustport.
