It was a dark time. At that time, Emperor Karl-Franz ruled the country. In the northern lands, the forces of Chaos have become more active than ever before. The Empire had no choice but to once again accept the challenge of the demonic hordes. Two Imperials, the educated, non-careerist Karl Rainer Wollen and the military-minded Gerlach Heilemann, who grew up in the same family, set off to defend their long-suffering homeland. In the very first battle, evil fate prepared a difficult test for them - they found themselves on opposite sides. Their army was defeated, Karl was captured, and Gerlach had to continue the battle for his fatherland on his own, without the support of his partner. But in these harsh lands you never know who is a friend and who is an enemy, and a fight with an enemy can turn into a fight for your own soul.
