This is a world of magic, set a thousand years into the turbulent era following the collapse of the Empire.
Lords wage war against one another, leaving the people in misery.
The nobility treat the common people like pigs and dogs, holding their lives in their hands.
But aren’t the nobles’ own lives in someone else’s hands, too?
A thousand years later, the fallen Empire still lives on in people’s hearts.
