== Premise ==
1’000 years ago, sword and sorcery ruled the world. It was a time when man lived alongside elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, trolls, faeries, dark elves, satyrs, leprechauns, halflings, centaurs, drakes, glutts, and dragons. It was a world of magic and wonder. It was the age of sorcerers. We lived alongside the mortals as friends until one of our own, a cruel sorcerer known as Arawn the Wraith King, betrayed us by trying to take the world for himself with his army. However, a good and just sorcerer named Fionn O'Clery, defeated him and banished him and some of his followers to the void for all eternity. But in the aftermath of Arawn's banishment, the mortals turned on us, believing us to be evil. Although many sorcerers and magical beings were cruelly slain, a group of mortals who remained loyal to us, helped us to escape into hiding whilst they became the Order of Druids. 1'000 years later, Arawn has escaped from his prison and intends to finish what he started. However, one of Fionn's descendants, my grandson, and a band of of brave heroes stand against him and his plans.
