is said of legend that there were once ancient spirits that roamed and conquered the Noblelands. Things that could hypnotize the strongest of minds with their words and transform the living into the walking dead with but a touch from their hands. Legend also said that something had stopped them...torn their ranks into shreds and decimated their powers until they were forced into hiding.
Many years has passed since, and history turned into legends, and legends to folk lore. But something is stirring in the depths of the Noblelands once again. Something evil...something ancient, and it is up to John, a nineteen year-old mute, and his friends to save the entirety of their lands. But a great and powerful mystery stands before them and their goal: What is it that stopped the ancient spirits? What is it that rendered them powerless? And will they ever find the answer in time?
