Then two heroes arose - men as close as brothers, yet divided by bitter betrayal. Arlen Bales became known as the Warded Man, tattooed head to toe with powerful magic symbols that enable him to fight demons in hand-to-hand combat-and emerge victorious.

Seule une poignée de Messagers bravent la nuit au péril de leur vie pour relier les hameaux dont les habitants ne s'éloignent jamais.

Qui est le Libérateur dont parlent les légendes ?

Il a choisi une autre voie : se battre. Il est devenu l'Homme-rune, un héros malgré lui. Mais l'homme qui se proclame le Libérateur n'est pas Arien.

The world remains under siege by demonkind stalking the land when the sun goes down. But a new hero has risen from the desert.

Jardir and his fellows are on an epic quest to vanquish the demons plaguing the world and bring humanity back from the brink of extinction.

The Skull Throne of Krasia stands empty. Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse.

Pendant ce temps, la force des chtoniens grandit et, en l'absence d'Arlen et d'Ahmann, il se pourrait que personne ne soit de taille à les arrêter. Seule Renna Bales sait peut-être ce qu'il est advenu des deux frères ennemis, mais elle semble elle aussi s'être volatilisée...

As years pass, the distances between each tiny village seem longer and longer. It seems nothing can harm the corelings, or bring humanity back together.
