In the year 2032, because of their corruption and self-destructive course, Humanity is all but wiped out by the Skendri, a species that Humans themselves had created. 5000 years later, Prince Krell, ruler of the Slaadikaar Holy Order, is attempting to negotiate the return of the rest of his people to their ancestral home. Political and territorial divisions with the Skendri Confederation keep tensions high. Religious strife between the monotheistic Slaadikaar and the polytheistic people of the Nihanese Empire erupts into outbreaks of terrorism. Prince Krell’s trusted top-ranking Admiral Dormuz, who has own dreams of Empire, secretly manipulates events so as to start an all-out war. Win or lose, the war will cause the downfall of Krell and place Dormuz himself upon the throne…or so he thinks. However, when the war doesn’t go as planned, Admiral Dormuz makes a Faustian deal with an ancient race named the Guareg. Now, all sides in the conflict may pay the ultimate price of Dormuz’s ambitions…
