Long ago there were humans and a magical people called Elder. The humans despised the Elder and enslaved them with the help of a magic-stifling stone called obsiterite. A generation later, the magic returned and the Elder have begun to escape their human masters, some choosing to walk alone, and others choosing to join a band. Along with this mysterious liberation of their magic, a voice prompts the Elder to go to the Land of Green and Gold.
The two young Elder, Griffin and Fern, have successfully found and joined Moonlight Band. Life in a band seems quite peaceful, and Griffin is happy to be travelling toward the Land of Green and Gold with his new friends. Life is never perfect, however. This fact becomes painfully obvious to Griffin as a murderer within Moonlight Band strikes, loyalties waver, and the sinister temptation of selfishness arises. Throughout all this, Griffin must look not just at the others, but also into his own heart, to find and defeat the darkness within.
