The Twenty-Sided Die

As the Star Empire passes from its golden age into decline, the discovery of a new continent turns it into a playground for the ambitions and rivalries of many races. A sprawling mountain range shields the fragile alliance of human lords. Dwarves guard the gates to the land of riches. The elves continue to expand their woodlands, seeking to restore the glory of the Silver Moon Age. Beyond the mountains, dragons rule the skies, orcs command the land, and other evils stir beneath the earth. In those days, Siegel is nothing more than an orphan, found inside a cage for catching squid, with a twenty-sided die by his side. He dreams of adventure and becoming a hero, but has no idea how to make it happen. He serves in turn as a sailor, squire, knight, and lord, yet only the power of magic truly captivates him. His greatest challenge, however, is learning how to hold on to himself amid its power.
