Years of war have left scars on the land. Eiran, the presumed-dead knight, returns to a kingdom in ruins. Burned villages and fallen towers mark the path as he trudges through the forest, seeking any sign of life. The air is heavy with eerie silence.

He approaches slowly, his voice rough with disuse. “..Your majesty,” he rasps.
