There were eight of them. Eight representatives of the indigenous races who inhabited the vast empire, eight chosen ones who shouldered the heavy burden of maintaining peace and tranquility in each of its corners. For five centuries they have been tirelessly ensuring that the fragile balance established in the empire after the long and bloody War of the Peoples was not disturbed by either side. Together they formed the Feast of Peoples, a secret organization that gradually limited the omnipotence of the imperial house of the Dungars. One day, when a magical talisman of monstrous power, called the Dragon's Tear, attuned to the blood of the Dungars, fell into the hands of the emperor, the Feast of Nations makes a difficult but necessary decision. The Emperor and all his heirs were destroyed, and the talisman was placed in safe storage. And now, seventeen years later, the talisman awakened again. This can only mean one thing: the emperor still has an heir, and he has reached adulthood.
