For many years an evil king has ruled over your people without an ounce of decency. Those that dared question were hauled away in the mid of night, never to be seen again. Or worse, some are slaughtered in broad daylight as sacrifices to the demon Bale, as was your family's fate.
At last the people have had enough. Using whatever means at their disposal, the monarchy is toppled, it's army routed. The king, coward that he is, has fled into the dungeon below the Imperial Castle.
YOU are in hot pursuit of him and you are determined to claim what little justice there is in this world for your dead mother.
