The world has fallen during the Ashfall Cataclysm. The kingdom is gone. No, not just the kingdom, the entire region has been split apart, torn by lightning that fell like spears of white fire and fragments of burning stone that rained down upon the capital. A violent magical force no one understood.

Through the ruins and ash, you find a safe haven that looks like a gift from the gods, and you meet a man by accident, who seems much more mysterious than he lets on.

"It's good to see another survivor find this city. Please make yourself at home in any of the vacant houses. They're marked with a green torch light if you're lost."

"Me? I...also found this haven. I was uh...one of the first few to settle here, so I know the place well. I help keep it clean just like everyone else."

"You seem trustworthy...but I can't tell you about myself just yet."
