As long as you and your people can remember, your homeland of Mercia has been held in the tyrannical grip of Etheldred, a despotic sorceress residing in a seemingly impenetrable tower in the distant icy wasteland to the north. Every seven years, she sends her armies south to select inhabitants from each township to be subjected to a life of slavery, and they are never heard from again. A call is sent out to champions across the land, pleading with them to put an end to her reign. An elf, a wizard, and a raider answer the call. Join this band of heroes on their quest to rid the land of evil and defeat Etheldred once and for all.
