In the land of Archona, the divinity of the 4 Godstones is coming to an end. The 4 God-Kings who posses the stones are dying. The story of The 4 Kings takes place throughout all of Archona. To the northeast, in the lands known as the Golden Country, a quest for power pits two brothers against each other. In the northeast, in the Westerlands, the King in Black plots against the other Kings, and investigates a rumor of an Undead rising. In the southeast, in the vast, barren desert, a settlement battles the ever present raider threat. In the southwest, in the town of Silverton, students of the Silver Lord compete to be his successor.
