SYNOPSIS: Ithiron is a land where three nations had dwelled in peace as The Alliance. But this peace is shattered when a dark magician and evil king rise, and the Andros nation take control. The two other nations flee in exile to the strange lands to the east in hopes of keeping themselves alive. There they wander for years on end. But things begin to change, first with four young exiles who embark off into the land and are the first to witness what strange creatures the lands hold. The exiles fall apart, a madness overtakes them, and what was once thought to be a cursed land is realized to be a protection that has been lost as those they left behind finally catch up to them. The first of four parts.
