In the year 10056 of the Second Era on the continent of Karmis, the Malahan Empire's rule has grown corrupt. After 238 years of oppression of the orcs, Agude, a human dragon priest who created the orc race at the dawn of civilization, is resurrected, consumed by resentment. With his followers in the Scarlet Dawn, he returns to the continent of Karmis, proclaiming that he will free the orcs, wipe out the stubborn and cunning elves, and enlighten humanity. They infiltrate provinces across the land. Agude and the Scarlet Dawn's headquarters appear in Ilia Province, crushing the Empire's forces there. They hope the anti-Imperial orc alliance in western Sater Province will join them. The alliance's leader, a minotaur, believes the Scarlet Dawn's methods are too brutal. They want equal rights. Agude is furious, believing that the world as it stands can no longer be reconciled, and changes his goal to destroying the world.
Meanwhile, humans in the Malahan Empire are also subject to a strict class system, and the oppression never ends. An uprising broke out in Kanich Province more than ten years ago.
