| Kiall is a dreamer, a peasant boy in the lands of Gothir. A young girl from his village is stolen, along with numerous others, to be sold as slaves in the Nadir lands. Being the dreamer that he is, he feels the need to go rescue her and potentially win her love. So he sets out on his own. On the way he meets Chareos, Beltzer, Finn, and Maggrig. They are past heros whose time has come and gone. They don't know what to do with the rest of their life so they agree to help him on his quest. It seems hopeless because he wasn't there when she was taken and doesn't know anything about who took her. He only knows that it was the Nadir.
They find a man by the name of Okas. He's like a mystic, and he follows her trail. They discover that she was taken to a Nadir merchant town. When they reach the town they end up saving the Nadir princess, Tanaki, and learning that Ravenna, the village girl, was sold to Tanaki's brother, Jungir Khan, the Nadir king. They also learn that she is going to give birth to the next king. They decide to continue the quest with the Princess' help. | ||
