I no longer serve myself, but the land and all who live in it. A life for many. For all time. This is the oath of the protectors of Dekar. The fighter guild Black Alliance has also taken this as its mission - until the day when its leader, Lichtfels, leaves his companions in a sudden and secretive action to fulfill a covert mission alone. When Lichtfels returns to Dekar five years later, nothing is as it was. His guild members are scattered in all directions, and on the throne sits a king who tyrannizes the people. All the principles and values for which the Black Alliance once stood have been shattered. The former guild leader tries to reunite his battle companions to put an end to the tyrant's machinations and show the people of Dekar that his guild still protects them. Goals that seem almost unattainable, as he is not only running out of time, but also uncovers a secret about the king that should never have come to light.
