Glorm, the former king of Grombelard, the land of eternal rains and harsh mountains, decides to return to his burned and destroyed home, to his kingdom. To regain the throne, he needs to overcome not only the resistance of countless hordes of robbers ruling the vast expanses of Grombelard, but also the machinations of the Imperial Tribunal, which does not want to lose power in the territories under its control. The wise Thamenat, father of Glorm, also goes to Grombelard. His concern is to understand the causes of the disorder that has gripped the whole world. To do this, he needs to find a guardian of the laws, an immortal bearer of knowledge, once walled up in one of the dungeons of the former capital. After all, if the laws of the world lose their sacred power, the world itself will fall into the abyss, and with it the peoples inhabiting it, including kings and their subjects.
