The Five Kingdoms have sat in an uneasy peace for centuries, the five respective kings being more occupied with the barbarians beyond the mountains. All five kings were outraged when the emperor of Dalitara pushed his forces into the vale of Talgorn, but the guardians of the realm intervened. The Dalitaran army was scattered by the Order of the Scarecrows, but some mysterious event caused the Crows to scatter themselves. No Crow has been seen for years after, and a terrible tyrant now perches on the throne of the First Kingdom. But a prophecy looms over the cruel king's head as he tries to take control of the other four kingdoms; a final Scarecrow remains loyal to the vow she swore, and she will avenge her fallen brethren one way, or another.
