It's the month of January, of the year 1099 AD. The city of Antioch has been taken and now the Latin crusaders march south to their final goal, Jerusalem. One such knight who has taken up the sword is Sir John of Caen. However, just as he is preparing to march south with the rest of the army, he receives a strange message. The message informs Sir John that he is to relieve a Byzantine force that is currently trying to take a Seljuk fortress somewhere in the Nur Mountains. Knowing that the only passage to it is the Belen Pass, Sir John and his men set out. Everything seems to be going well until snow falls and soon turns into a seemingly supernatural blizzard. The Latin soon manage to find shelter in a nearby cavern to wait it out. After emerging, they find themselves in a strange land. They come to learn that it is a kingdom called Rohan. Despite their king granting them sanctuary, it is clear that a war is brewing. Servants of evil are amassing in the south, while centuries of hatred with the HillTribesman of Dunland threatens to boil over. With winter approaching, Sir John and his men will have to take up arms to decide the fate of a kingdom, its people and find a way home before it's too late.
