The Voltron paladins live in the early 1500's, in a small town that never really changes, other than the occasional war to defend their land. Shiro and Matt are soldiers in the army, although Matt doesn't take a lot of his responsibilities seriously, often visiting his younger sister in the library she runs, and Shiro spends a lot of his free time trying to correspond with Keith. For one, Keith doesn't even live in the village with the others, so that makes things a bit difficult. Luckily, one day he requires the service of blacksmiths Hunk and Lance, which leads to an adventure that the group will remember for the rest of their lives.
