The young Lord Kirtian, breaking all the laws of elven society, abolishes slavery in his estate. He teaches people the art of war, anticipating future clashes with his fellow tribesmen. However, life takes an unexpected turn. The rebellion of the Young Lords flares up, and the army of the "fathers" needs a new commander. Having learned about Kirtian's talents, the High Council appoints him as commander.

Caught between two fires, sympathizing with the young and not wanting to shed the blood of human slaves in a senseless massacre, Kirtian enters into an alliance with the half-breed wizards commanded by Dashana Curse Elves Now they have the power to change the established order and return freedom to those from whom it was taken away by the firstborn, who appeared in this world several centuries ago.
