Artania is devastated by the war and the subsequent coup. The remnants of wealth have been stolen, and famine is brewing. The government, in order to stay in power, needs to find a new enemy, and elves are no longer suitable for this role. Well, a holy place is never empty. Very successfully, some gathering of refugees and foreigners settled in the abandoned lands - why not an enemy? It’s so easy to blame “criminals” for all the troubles! Hint also that they are bursting from gluttony - that is the embodiment of universal evil. People strive to go to war against their former compatriots, fully confident in the justice and righteousness of this war. Eric and his friends, who by the will of fate find themselves at the head of this community, understand that both sides will lose in the confrontation. But there is nowhere to run, which means war must be prevented. It would seem, what can two former thieves and a half-educated doctor who doesn’t even remember his mother’s name do? Unknown. But in order to prevent a new war, Eric is ready to turn himself inside out.
