The people of the Arlan Kingdom were enjoying their time of peace. It had been over 100 years since the PelMok armies of Marlush invaded their shores and only with the aid and wisdom from the Order of Wielders were the forces of Arlan prepared and victorious in driving the evil from their lands. Despite their enemy's long silence, the PelMok had not been idle, and years of complacency and fear had changed the kingdom. The heroes of old were gone and those now in power wanted nothing to do with the old ways, or to hear talk of war...but the enemy was already among them.
