That was all long ago... however, the ancient army of the Kulon have risen again from the mists of time, and one of their fiercest warriors has just crowned himself ruler and has started a battle for all out control over the people of this ravaged land.
His evil plot calls for the abduction of one of the world’s Imanti, the so called ’guardians of the faith’ to the people of Delphire. However, the guardian they abduct on one night has three students, and they will not let him go so easily.
So begins a quest through the land of Delphire, through ancient ruins and thriving towns, through the frozen wastes and the tropical beaches, even through time itself.

Things are happening here that nobody understands, and the greatest discovery of this land, has yet to be made.
