The ancient empire is on the verge of collapse. Wars, famine, disease and feudal fragmentation - all this hung like a sword of Damocles over the emperor’s head. Adding fuel to the fire are the rebels, who call themselves the “Free People,” who regularly rob imperial caravans, besiege imperial citadels and recruit more and more warriors. In the hour of discord and decline, someone must be born who will stabilize the world and return law and order to the lives of people. This light should be Gul'Dar, also called the "Child of Darkness." And really, who said that only goodness can save the world?
