Passing the Desert

Opening Narration
Word spread of the liberation army under Imperial Prince Celice, instilling a sense of courage in those still suffering under the empire's tyrannical rule. As a result uprisings broke out in almost every corner of the continent. However, many lacked solid leadership and were easily crushed by the empire. Casualities at the hands of the imperial troops were enormous.

In the Kingdom of Lenster in the Thracia Peninsula, Cuan's son, Prince Leaf, assembled a resistance force with Fin's assistance. But they suffered a crushing defeat before King Blume's massive army and found themselves stranded in enemy territory. The Yied Desert was administered by a Lopt Sectarian named Cutozov from Yied Shrine. Stationed in the oasis town of Darna was Bramsel, a former merchant, and Jabarro, commander of a mercenary squad.

Prince Ishtor and the highly revered General Liza protected Melgen Castle, while Duke Leptor's son, King Blume, was at the captal in Alster with his niece, a young mage named Tinny.

Celice was all set to depart Rivough and lead the warriors of Isaac's liberation army on a rescue mission to distant Lenster. Each warrior put aside his and her individual concerns as they embraced the new challenge before them.
