An ancient prophecy says that there will be Elven Warriors that shall push back the Borderland Evils. Adain, a young warrior enters a competition for who will lead the warriors. Raglar, an evil and ancient monster, sends an assassin to kill the leaders of the warriors, as well as Adain hiself. By a quirk of fate, Adain and the assassin, Arryn, end up working together to survive the challenges. They are joined by a human, Shedor, and a dwarf, Olotho, adventurers both, who owe Adain to their knowledge of the world. As they try to survive, Raglar moves in to destroy them, and rule all of creation. It is a time of darkness, betrayal, and glory
