Since as far back as anyone can remember, the world has always been splintered. Broken. Divided. Shattered beyond all recognition. There was a time though, before the cataclysmic Shattering, when this world was whole. Legends of the ancient times speak of this world being much greater than its current state, a place of everlasting peace…and boredom.

The Shattering followed soon after, bringing conflict into the world. No one can say for sure what exactly caused the Shattering, though many researchers of our time agree that it was the actions of some primordial deity, perhaps, the deity that created all realities.

But that is mere speculation.

What is known are the stories of the Thirteen Heroes and their journey to stop the Shattering. It was through their actions alone that this world halted its descent into destruction and did not fall apart completely. However, shortly after their victory, the Heroes were locked away, kept hidden from the world.

Or so the legends say.

Enter the present day. Since those dark times eons ago, bids for power have risen and fallen. Through it all, one force has forced its way to the top, becoming a government to unite the world as one: the Imperium.

Things are much different these days. The majority of people live out their lives either serving the Imperium or exploring the territories of their broken world. And then there are the Mercenaries. Arms at hire, criminals to most, but most of all, treasure hunters willing to risk all for their prize.

To become a Mercenary is to sell one’s soul for pride and profit. Few dare to even consider the lifestyle. In one day though, the strings of fate become altered once more.

Legend Relics. Thirteen powerful artifacts said to contain the legacy and mementos of each Hero that stopped the Shattering. The Imperium has proclaimed an order to all for the request of these objects, placing the highest price conceivable for their return.

Why does the Imperium seek them? What worth do they have now? To what end is the world slowly becoming shattered again?

That’s not your problem. Your concern lies in locating those Legend Relics first before your rival Mercenaries do. For this is the greatest treasure hunt ever proclaimed by man…
