Storyline

The king of Melfand’s adviser, Nomolwa, betrayed him and usurped the kingdom together with his accomplices, Labyuless the warlock and Brad the black knight. Four adventurers come to the kingdom by ship, traversing the lands full of monsters and perils to get to the king’s castle, where the evil man resides. Our heroes are the typical balanced RPG party, comprising of plucky rogue El, smug knight Corse, cute elf witch Lemin and tomboyish thief Nora.
