Kingdom Come

On Meridian-Alta, not completely dissimilar to the planet we humans know and love, there is a legend. A legend that has been passed down for centuries. A legend to scare children and provoke fear in the citizens.
Deep in the mountains outside the boarders of the Empire lives a sinister evil. Something beyond a simple bad man doing bad things. The whole land that surrounds him is infected by his darkness, the mountains, the woods, the rivers and water. And with armies at his command he has plundered and pillaged and murdered his way through the centuries - an age-defying immortal giant, Enceladus, here only to take the souls of all he meets and feed them to the beasts...

And he's coming for the Kingdom. As things heat up in the political world within the empire, rumours of the giant, Enceladus, have begun to emerge. Spreading like wildfire, the rumours threaten to throw the empire into panic unless something can be done to stop it.

But folklore is folklore. It's not real. Folklore is for townspeople with young children who need scaring into bed. Or so Aris, the second daughter of Domitor Castus, says. Having been in training to become the next Chief of the Domitor's Army since the age of 10, Aris is more weapon than woman, but has never detached herself from her mischievous streak that keeps her from becoming a sullen violence-lover. But training to become a war general leaves little time for all other aspects of life, which is fine with Aris, because who needs love when you have nunchucks?

When a chase in the forest and an injury land her outside the empire's boarders, Aris soon finds herself discovering that folklore has its foundation in reality. But where does the lore end and the truth start? And what will it do to the Empire?
