On the continent of Athermyl, the eponymous Empire has plunged into a civil war following the coup by Generalissimo Disgaries. In this time of trouble, the duchies and counties of the belliquous state align either with the military or along the old and bloodless dynastic line. In the tumult, Lord Milo of house Milo (which comprises a dilapidated house and two retainers) rises up for freedom, salmon and whatever a Quaratrak is.

The cindered plague strikes Athermyl! The Empire is crumbling; in the countryside the religious order of Avalon is now ruling the devasted fields; in the North, along the coasts, a new enemy is drawn by blood... The vast Commonwealth of Embresia has seized the opportunity to conquer significant parts of the Holy Empire. In this chaos, will the heroes of old harrow better tomorrows?

On the continent of Athermyl, stricken by war and disease, Lord Milo embarks on an adventure to Hell to bring back his departed friend, Prince Nelson, who lost his life during the conflicts. In his quest, he will face the mightiest empires who have ruled on the surface, will have to overcome his fate, find a so-called Scepter of Thug, and play neither-yes-nor-no. A comedical tale carried by a bunch of misfits, obstinate to brave the highest of dangers!
