Meet Sigurd, a distant guard living alone on the perimeter of the vast territory. One day, he met a particular traveler who gives him a small ball, etched with ancient markings and leaves. This gift seems like an ordinary toy, but when he truly finds out what it does, his calm life will soon change. The sands turn into rotten mud; the creatures transform into monstrosities. Sigurd meets individuals that have a plan to end this growing pandemonium. Will Sigurd trust his newfound friends and stop the nearing Chaos? Or will he lose himself to the Sands of War?
