For years, the Kingdom of the Boddici have held an uneasy peace with their neighbours on all sides. But now, the ancient ethereal war horns known as The Harpies have called the armies to the stone gates. Mystical devices of immense power. A proud lineage of the old empire, the Prince Socras seeks to save his kingdom from the destruction he fears his father - and others - will bring. 

The Cantelles tribe seek three of their noble sons whom have gone missing on their quest to become men.  Fearing the worst, Luxtor feels he must embark on a personal mission to find his son that will force him to choose between his loyalty to the tribe or to his family.
