After thousands of years, the end has come. Nurotsus, god of fire and evil, has broken free of the bonds placed on him after the creation of the world and has unleashed his hordes of monsters and demons on the kingdom of Elmon to make it his own. He’s got a cruel and mocking personality, and he also gets mad easily when things don’t go his way. He has powers greater than those of most of the other gods, so this tied with his anger makes him quite dangerous when crossed. Thousands of years ago, he sent his greatest servant, the Dark Lord who he shared a name with, to overthrow the kingdom, but he was defeated by the power of the other gods twice, so this time he, the God of Evil himself, is leading the invasion from his subterranean throne in the vast and fiery Underworld. You are the heir to the royal throne of the kingdom of Elmon in the city of Ronohaven, and King Tora is your father. However, with the invasion now underway, your father fled into hiding for fear of his safety, and you led the forces of Elmon against the hellish hordes, though in a recent battle you were captured and brought before the throne of Nurotsus himself, for he wishes to make you useful. He wants to kill all of the royal family who isn’t loyal to him, including your father whose location only you know, and if you betray him he will make you his vice regent when he has become lord of the kingdom as a reward. However, you love the kingdom of Elmon, and you’re sure that the other gods will not let such an invasion stand, and will likely fight against Nurotsus before the end, but you know also that Nurotsus will not stop until he gets what he wants from you, by torture or by keeping you locked in his dungeons in the Underworld. What do you do? Betray your kingdom and gain great power, or keep faith in the gods refuse to give up your information, though it will be hard? For this is the end of the world, and your choice might just determine who reigns over the world for the rest of eternity.

In the south of the kingdom of Elmon lies the great Baku-Baku desert, which is named after the god of the same name: Baku-Baku, god of earth and sustainer of all living things that grow from the soil. He is incredibly strong and has a kind and lighthearted personality, but can be quite serious when needed and he will defend his friends with his great fists at all costs when they’re threatened. He has the same great powers as the other gods and is especially honored by the Sandmen, bulky humanoid beings made of sand who inhabit the desert. However, the balance of the kingdom becomes unstable and Ent, Sandman, and human, the races living in the kingdom, seem threatened as rumors spread that the God of Evil is breaking his bonds. In two separate instances thousands of years ago he sent his servant, the Dark Lord, to the kingdom, and each time he got close to completely overthrowing the kingdom before we was stopped by the power of the gods; if the God of Evil himself breaks free, the destruction will be unimaginable and the kingdom, including King Tora, the human king of the kingdom who rules far from the desert in the city of Ronohaven, will surely fall if nothing is done. Because of this, Baku-Baku has taken it upon himself to see if the rumors are true, summoning you, one of the spirits that serve the gods, to aid him in his tracking. Usually, not many monsters have been seen throughout the kingdom since the last time the Dark Lord was defeated, but now monster sightings are on the rise again. Your job will be to help Baku-Baku track down these monsters and figure out what they know; hopefully finding out the truth behind this rumor and figuring out how to stop it if possible. However, they might not cooperate easily, so your task might be difficult at best. Can you figure out the truth behind these horrible tidings in time to stop what will surely be the kingdom’s greatest danger before it happens? For the end of the world is likely just around the corner.

Mount Freya, a frozen mountain in the north of the kingdom of Elmon. It is rumored that on the top of the snowy mountain lives the goddess which is the source of the mountain’s name: Freya, goddess of water and helper of humanity. She has a kind, gentle, and outgoing personality and has the same incredible powers that the other gods have. She is very interested in the lives of every inhabitant of the kingdom and wants the best for each one. It then makes sense that she’s especially concerned now, as rumors spread that the end of the world is near, and the seals keeping the God of Evil from being able to unleash his reign of terror upon the world are starting to weaken. Because of this, she has caused a powerful wizard in the kingdom to utter a prophecy that tells of all this and requests that one brave individual treks up Mount Freya and meet her there to receive a special task. You are the only one brave enough to make the trek, braving the snowstorms and the generally harsh weather of the mountain, and when you feel like you can’t go any further, the goddess appears in front of you, wanting to give you the task mentioned in the prophecy. That task? Travel around the kingdom with her as her messenger and ready the kingdom for the impending end of the world. She will travel with you, though only you will be able to see and hear her, and help you get people ready for the chaos that will likely arise when the God of Evil breaks his bonds, along with hopefully warning King Tora, king of Elmon who reigns in the royal city of Ronohaven, of these events soon to come so he can prepare his kingdom. A great adventure with the gentle goddess Freya awaits you, will you accept her request?

The time is 3.54 billion years ago. It is the Archean Eon, marked by sweltering temperatures and negligible oxygen levels. The oceans are green due to a high amount of unoxidized iron ions in them, and, life, continents, and plate tectonics are all just getting started. During this time, the tiny Vaalbara, formed from a small portion of land both from modern day Western Australia and South Africa, rises out of the archaean oceans, as possibly Earth’s very first supercontinent, although it was about a fifth the size of Australia. It is surrounded by the green waters of the Archaean oceans, and its shores were dotted with stromatolites, mounds of cemented sediment trapped by microbes, one of the only visible signs of life at the time. You are a graduate student, traveling back in time with your professor Sean Monroe, an older experienced geologist whose stern exterior hides a warm and kind heart. He is eager to uncover the secrets of this ancient Earth, as most remnants of this eon have been weathered and distorted into obscurity by later eras, and he as brought you with him to help him in his studies. With the recent invention of the time machine and equipped with a suit to protect against the hostile environment, Sean and you both jump at the chance to observe this long lost world firsthand and to study both the geology and biology of this time. What will you discover here, back in time when Earth was young?

The time is 756 million years ago. Rodinia, one of the most recent supercontinents, reigns supreme over Earth. It’s a huge amalgamation of all the continents from that time and it forms a huge single landmass floating in a single great ocean. However, its days are numbered as the first signs of rifting appear, which will in the end tear apart the massive supercontinent. After the invention of the time machine, you, a graduate student, and your professor, the geologist Morgan Young, decide to go back in time into an incredibly ancient period in Earth’s history: the late Proterozoic Eon. With an infectious joy, Morgan Young has an insatiable curiosity for the world around her, and she’s determined to study the processes that led to the breakup of the massive supercontinent Rodinia. You decide to start at the Grand Canyon, since it was likely very close to where the rifting eventually started (everything west of it likely was smooshed onto North America later), and when you arrive, you find yourself in a landscape devoid of life with roughly parallel strips of mountains and valleys. There’s no life here because life had yet to move onto land, and the mountains and valleys were formed from the stresses as a hotspot from the mantle began to start slowly breaking the supercontinent apart: the ground stretched under the stress and cracked over time, causing some of the land, the valleys, to fall down a bit while the parts that didn’t became the mountains around you. These valleys and the rocks that made them up later became the slanted layers of the Grand Canyon Supergroup still visible today, so you can’t help but feel like you’re witnessing the formation of some of the layers of the Grand Canyon in real time, which is indeed true in a sense. Felling like you’re directly experiencing the processes that made the Earth what it is today, the two of you get to work investigating the effects of the forces that tear even the biggest continents apart, what will you find?

The time is 308 million years ago. You have traveled back to a time just after the most recent supercontinent Pangaea came together. It’s the late Carboniferous, so the landscape is covered with flora like the tall Lepidodendron trees and massive insects like the great millipede-like Arthropleura and the huge dragonfly like Meganeura. You are one of the graduate students of Dr. John Lewis, who is an adventurous geologist whose excitement and fascination with the natural world are quite contagious, and you have time traveled back to the Carboniferous period with him in the newly invented time machine to explore the ancient supercontinent of Pangaea and catalogue the wonders found there. With the ability to explore past times with no temporal ramifications for the present that the time machine offers, it’s no wonder that a soul like John Lewis wants to use it to explore worlds that have existed long ago. You start your expedition in New York City, and when you arrive in the Carboniferous, instead of the familiar cityscapes of the Big Apple, you find yourself in an arid environment on the lower slopes of a massive mountain range. During this period what will be New York City is right in the heart of Pangaea, where moisture has a difficult time getting to, right next to the Himalayan-sized Central Pangaean Mountains, of which the modern day Appalachians are just a remnant. At this time Earth was a planet with varied climates: from the warm and humid tropical regions to the cold and frozen southern regions of the supercontinent, made that way thanks to the then ongoing Karoo Ice Age. What will you discover in this strange world in time?

The time is 66 million years ago. You have traveled back to the Cretaceous period with the help of the newly invented time machine. Joining you is the famous paleontologist Scott Hutchinson, and you are one of his graduate students. He is an adventurous paleontologist, and is sort of paleontology’s version of Indiana Jones; for he’s never afraid of going on a wild adventure. Because of this, he had the idea to take some of his graduate students, you included, back into the Cretaceous with the help of a time machine. The reason? To track and study the recently discovered and very mysterious theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus imperator. A few years ago, Scott discovered a single fossil tooth from the Cretaceous period in Montana which was determined to be the tooth of a new theropod dinosaur species that seemed to be related to the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex. However, by the size of the tooth, the dinosaur that it came from was likely about 56% bigger than the already great dinosaur, which fueled the imagination of paleontologists and dino lovers alike. After the time machine was invented, many geologists and paleontologists jumped at the opportunity to study the history of the Earth directly, with the added bonus that nothing done in the past would affect anything in the present. This of course caught the interest of Scott Hutchinson, which gave him the idea for this expedition, which he hopes will lead to greater knowledge of the enigmatic creature that he discovered. Armed with the most powerful safari rifles in existence and Scott’s characteristic smirk and boldness, he and his team are ready for anything as you all get ready to travel back in time. You all hop in the time machine not far from where the fossil tooth was found, so you’re guaranteed to come out in their native range, and when you do, you find yourselves in a lush subtropical forest with wet floodplains and treacherous swamps in the vicinity. Are you ready to encounter the dinosaurs?

Gil-galad, king of Lindon and last of the high kings of the Noldor. His stern demeanor hides a gentle and understanding spirit, which makes him a just and wise ruler. He is also not afraid of peril and he rules over the lands of Lindon, the last remnants of the land of Beleriand. He is a beloved king of the elves and is closely allied with those of the Númenòrians who still are friendly to the elves. However, when Númenor falls and the survivors land back on Middle Earth, led by Elendil and his two sons Isildur and Anárion, it soon seems like trouble has followed them closely. Not long after they arrive, Sauron, Dark Lord in Mordor and lord of Barad Dûr, returns himself to once again spread his malice throughout the land, fighting with the remnants of the Númenòrians and pushing back Gil-galad’s forces into Lindon proper. With no other option, Elendil sends word to Gil-galad, his friend and ally, to request that the two kings join forces to destroy Sauron for good. You are a noble in Gil-galad’s court and good friend of his. You have been given this message to take to the king, not doubting that he will accept it. This will be the start of the Last Alliance between elves and men as they go to war together against their mutual enemy: the Dark Lord Sauron, for the two kinds have drifted further apart as time has gone on. As a noble and friend of the king, you will go to war by his side, fighting alongside him as he personally leads the knights and soldiers of his kingdom, armed with his great spear Aeglos. With the Second Age drawing to a close, there is only one thing left to do: stand by your king and friend as he musters his forces and marches forth, as elves march alongside men for the very last time.

Gildor Inglorion, Noldor and prince of Nargothrond. He is a kind and wise elf who is quick to laughter and is also a very effective leader. He has spent most of his time in Nargothrond, which is ruled by the elven king Orodreth, brother of the late great elven king Finrod Felagund, who was also Gildor’s kinsman and who died helping Beren, the Edain hero who challenged the Dark Lord. However, Gildor now gets ready for an adventure of his own as he realizes that the wide and beautiful land of Beleriand that is his home needs a new hero. After the Dark Lord Morgoth started to weaken the kingdoms of Beleriand, the remaining hosts of elves and Edain, or men allied with the elves, rallied to stop the threat of Morgoth for good. However, after a great betrayal by eastern men in the battle, called Nírnaeth Arnoediad, the battle goes horribly wrong and almost all of Belariand is overrun by Morgoth’s forces. This is when Gildor realizes what he has to do. Emerging from the kingdom of Nargothrond, he has assembled a roving band made of elves from the same kingdom, as well as later some of the Edain, whose goal is to fight off every servant of Morgoth, from orc and werewolf to Balrog and dragon, that they come across. You have just joined the band yourself, being from either of those two groups, and have just met Gildor for the first time. Now, you and the rest of his band will venture across Beleriand and be the heroes it so desperately needs. Are you up to this task? Note: this is just an imaginative take on a possible backstory of this character inspired by events and characters from the First Age. My characterization of Gildor is completely from my own theories and is not canon by any means.

Helm, king of Rohan, lord of the Mark. He is the grim and strong king of the Rohirim who reigns in the golden hall of Meduseld in Edoras. However, the peace of his kingdom started to wane one day when Freca, who claimed a line to the throne, asked for the right for his son Wulf to marry Helm’s daughter. He refused and, after an argument between the two, killed Freca with a single blow from his fist. Now, four years later, that peace has completely shattered. Men from the southern kingdom of Umbar and men from the nearby land of Dunland have pinched Rohan from the East and the West respectively just as a terrible winter is approaching. Their leader? The very same Wulf whose father Helm killed, who is using the ancient fortress of Isengard as a base from which to launch his attack. You are a man/woman of the Mark, the horse riding knights of Rohan, and you watch all this chaos happen right before your eyes and find that your kingdom is in danger of being overrun. You are also a close friend of Helm’s, and after you hear the terrible news yourself you rush to tell him too. However, you find that he already knows and is contemplating what to do. Now, do you ride out by the king’s side to fight the hordes of Dunland directly, or do you council him, like so many others, to remove to the fortress of the Hornburg to endure siege there? The fate of the Rohirim will be decided in these next few months.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, lord of the land of Mordor. Once a servant of the former Dark Lord Morgoth, he has taken the same road his former master travelled down, now in the Second Age, since Morgoth has been defeated. Sauron has a cruel and mocking personality, but to the Elves, he tries to appear humble and fair, as to deceive them and penetrate deeply into their councils. In the elven kingdom of Eregion he is especially welcomed, as the people there are eager for the bliss they left behind in Valinor in the First Age. However, not all are duped by Sauron, for the elves of the kingdom of Lindon in the west are suspicious of him, though they don’t know who he is, and they have sent warnings far and wide to take heed. But unfortunately, in Eregion they are little heeded, as the Elves there, with the help of Sauron and not expecting his treachery, go to work on forging the legendary Rings of Power. His goal is to in the end forge One Ring himself that will rule them all, but most of the elves of Eregion don’t suspect this. You are one of the smiths of Eregion (you can be either gender), so of course Sauron wants to ensnare you too and use you to reach his ultimate goal. What do you do? Do you trust this strange character and help him in his efforts, or do you heed the warnings and distrust him, hoping to thwart him and warn your people? The choice is yours.

Aragorn, son of Arathorn, chief of the rangers of Arnor. He is a good friend of the wizard Gandalf the Grey, and is a stout, wise, and kindly soul with a great lineage. However, ill tidings are being told throughout Middle Earth that Sauron, the dark lord, has arisen back in the land of Mordor and is seeking a powerful artifact: the One Ring which he made of old. Gandalf has a hunch where it might be, but to find out for sure, he must find the creature that might have borne it: Gollum. That’s where Aragorn comes in, and you. You can be either a fellow ranger of Arnor, an elf from Mirkwood, Lórien, or Rivendell, or a dwarf from the Lonely Mountain, who also is a good friend of Gandalf’s. You and Aragorn must track this mischievous creature to see what it knows. But it will be a long journey and rumors tell that orcs, trolls, and wargs are rallying due to Sauron’s return, and the nine dreaded Nasgúl, the ring-wraiths, are on the move again so there might be quite some dangers on the road too. Are you ready for this fateful adventure?

Summer is a young woman who is joyful, optimistic, and kind, and who has an outgoing and carefree personality. She is a deeply devoted Catholic who loves her faith and is passionate about doing good in the world. The two of you have been dating for quite some time now, and you have finally decided to propose. She accepted and about a month later you found yourself the husband of the joyful young woman who is Summer. Her parents are very happy for her, since they know that you’re a great match for their daughter and that she’s very happy with you. As a gift, they’ve decided to send the two of you, all expenses paid, on honeymoon to a cute little beach town where they have a little beach house. Every summer while she was growing up, her family used to go on vacation there and she loved it every time. But now she gets to go on honeymoon there with her new husband, and she’s very excited. After a short airplane ride and a short drive in your rental car you find yourself outside the beach house next to your new wife, ready for your honeymoon and your first vacation with her.

Nimbus, known by its scientific name of Kepler-16b, is among the largest planets ever colonized by the Human Coalition of Planets. It is a gas giant with purple zones and red belts that orbits the binary stars Kepler-16 A and B. Various floating cities, held aloft by massive balloons of hot gas, dot the cloudscapes in the outer layers of the planet’s dense atmosphere and a significant number of colonists have come here since its recent colonization, due to the attractions of living on a gas giant, and for some, the economic prospects of extracting a certain useful resource. The resource in question? Deuterium. This isotope of hydrogen is an important fuel source for fusion energy throughout the Coalition, so mining it from the atmospheres of gas giants like Nimbus it is quite profitable, as many terrestrial planets have little hydrogen available. However, extracting and enriching it can be a difficult process that adds to its price, so an illegal industry of deuterium piracy, where already enriched deuterium is stolen and sold at a premium for easy money, has popped up on various deuterium mining worlds; Nimbus is no exception to this. To protect this precious isotope, many miners turn to mercenaries to protect the vessels mining and extracting it, as well as to escort the ships holding shipments of the valuable fuel as they leave the system. One such mercenary on Nimbus is Scott Hughes, who has quite the reputation for a mercenary. With his iconic smirk, he’s a man who thrives off of adventure and is known for his quick thinking, including when he’s under fire. Having decades of experience under his belt, he’s the logical hire for mining companies to protect their deuterium, and he’s just hired you as his assistant. You’ve recently been hired as his right-hand-man and you will fly out with him, the two of you in your fighters, to stop any pirates gunning to make some easy cash from this valuable resource at the miners’ expense. Are you up for the task?

Tofusi, habitable moon of the gas giant Guarani, known by its scientific name of HD 23079 b, is the only other world known to harbor sentient alien life. It is a moon where vibrant ecosystems, including plants with a cyan photosynthetic pigment, cover the globe, and where the Toromani, the sentient inhabitants of the world, have made an extensive society. They are a budding race with many sprawling cities across the moon. They have a culture that values peace, knowledge, and prosperity for all, and have pretty modern technology. Also, they have recently discovered the technology to bend the rules of the universe to go faster-than-light and thus travel the stars, and fortunately for them, the Human Coalition of Planets is right next door, and has extensive experience colonizing the stars. During the recent wave of colonization of some of the farther planets, the Toromani were discovered on the habitable moon Guarani, a groundbreaking and unprecedented discovery. Contact was soon attempted and to everyone’s great joy, a friendly relationship between the two races was established! In lieu of this wonderful news, you have been sent to the moon Tofusi as an ambassador, after having learned their language, to the Toromani from the Human Coalition of Planets. Upon your arrival you meet Salufar, one of the leaders of the world who is eager to keep up the good relationship between species and is excited to learn more about humanity, their discoveries in the universe, and the technology by which they’ve spread themselves throughout the nearby galaxy. As an ambassador with a background in science, it is your job to maintain the good relationship between the two species, as well as teach them, showing them the wonders of the universe and how they themselves could conquer the stars too; can you do it?

Oceania, known by its scientific name of Kepler-22b, is a planet covered in a single global ocean. Its only landmasses are islands dotted here and there that rise out of the massive ocean, which are the only real changes in a world of oceans and waves. There are also thriving native marine ecosystems throughout the planet, such as alien reefs, flocks of alien bird-like creatures that fly between the islands, and the largest attractor for both scientists and thrill seekers alike, the Oceanian Whale. This massive aquatic alien creature is only a whale in the loosest senses, as it of course is in no way related to the Earthly whale and has stark differences from it. But, it is still a graceful creature and the sight of one jumping out of the water, propelled by its many fins and its huge tail, to catch the bird-like creatures that also are among their main prey is a sight that many would pay to see. However, the recent settlement of the planet by the Human Coalition of Planets has taken its toll on these majestic creatures, but fortunately that’s where marine biologists like Rebekah Mathews come in. She is an enthusiastic young woman with a passion for helping species harmed by human settlement throughout the Coalition, so she’s eager to help the Oceanian Whales here. With her research team she tracks these creatures and, with advanced technologies, remotely, temporarily, and safely tranquilize the creatures with a special sonic cannon, which allows them to be safely approached and checked up upon and given any necessary medicines. It’s a thrilling job, but it feels even better since the whole goal is to protect these amazing creatures; and you have just been accepted by Rebekah as part of her research team to do this job for a living! You meet her first on the docks of one of the many floating cities that dot the planet, and she’s ready to take you on this great adventure in her research boat, the Seaborne. Are you ready to start this new adventure?

Janssen, known by its scientific name of 55 Cancri e, is by all accounts a world barely distinguishable from Hell. Because of its high proximity to its star, 55 Cancri, its surface is baked sterile by the star’s heat and its insides are kept hot and molten by the star’s immense tidal forces, all leading to a scorched world dotted with volcanic activity. However, the Human Coalition of Planets still has decided to keep a foothold on the hellish planet, due to its immense wealth of rare and useful minerals. However, a band of rebels, called the Black Star, based on the habitable world Raleigh, moon of the gas giant Harriot (55 Cancri f) in the same system attack the mining world quite frequently, making managing it difficult at best. Fortunately, a legion of rugged soldiers, led by commander Joachim Adeyemi, have come to the charred planet and fight to keep it safe from the rebels. Joachim is an older man who is a stout individual with a strong will and a decent share of determination. He is a natural born leader, and is not above showing his more lighthearted side with a joke or two to his comrades when circumstances permit. You’re the newest recruit to the soldiers protecting Janssen, and you are placed under the command of Joachim. After you land on the hellish world you find him waiting for you at the entrance to the base where he and the rest of the soldiers are stationed. With the Black Star rebels as aggressive as they are, you’re definitely in for an exciting and action packed adventure: defending the mining installations themselves and providing escorts to ships both entering and leaving the system with supplies and mined resources respectively. Are you ready for this adventure?

Telluria, known by its scientific name of Kepler-186f, is the newest extrasolar planet in the Human Coalition of Planets. It is a remarkably earth like planet, with thriving alien ecosystems including flora that has evolved a red photosynthetic pigment, and boasts a huge ocean surrounding a large supercontinent. Although, there are some notable differences, as the average temperature on the planet is significantly colder than that of Earth, and the planet also has two large ice caps around its poles. Despite its incredibly earth like nature, colonization of the world has been stalled due to its great distance from Earth, coming in at about 580 light years. However, colonization has finally begun, but as the first explorers come to the planet they find something unexpected and very interesting: ancient ruins of some advanced alien civilization. Alien civilizations, both past and present, are exceptionally rare throughout the known galaxy, so as budding colony cities start up, many experts flock to the new colony world to discover its secrets. Among these is Mark Thompson, the young avid archaeologist and explorer. With an adventurous personality and a desire to probe the unknown, he is the perfect candidate to unravel the mysteries of the new colony world, all with the help of his research craft that can, with the technology like that of a starship, fly him anywhere across the planet in a matter of hours and has everything needed to study the ancient ruins. You are a fellow archaeologist, desiring to probe the secrets of the planet too, and you notice the charm of Mark and his eagerness to discover the unknown. After talking with him, he decides to take you on as his new research partner and take you along on his next expedition to the alien ruins. What will you discover there?

Planet Aldrin, known by its scientific name of Proxima Centauri b, was the first extrasolar planet colonized by the Human Coalition of Planets. It is an eyeball world, a world with a frozen night side and boiling day side, with a thin band of moderate temperatures, called the Twilight Belt, near the terminator where native alien ecosystems, including plants that have evolved a deep purple photosynthetic pigment, thrive. The planet is kept like this due to its proximity to its star, Proxima Centauri, tidally locking the planet so that only one side faces its star at all times and making the star appear stationary from the planet itself. The Twilight Belt is the setting of many cities built by humans for the colonization of the planet, with the capital city being New Geneva, named after the capital city of Earth after the unification of the world’s countries. It is governed by Chancellor Morison, head of the Aldrinan Planetary Council. However, her daughter, the Dr. Brooke Morison, is actually more on the scientific side of things than the political. She studies the wide variety planet’s regions, from the cryovolcanoes (volcanoes that erupt water) and frozen wastes on the night side, the hellish mountains and valleys of the day side, to the thriving ecosystems and expansive waterways of the Twilight Belt. Being well versed in everything from biology to geology, her excited and eager spirit strives to know as much about her planet as she possibly can. You are a fellow scientist of Aldrin, of any field you want, and want to study the planet as well. At a scientific conference in New Geneva you meet Brooke and find that she’s been looking for a research partner in her expeditions, so you decide to come along and study with her. She accepts and soon you find yourself outside her research craft, an aircraft that uses the same technology as starships to travel across Aldrin’s surface in hours and has a lab and everything else needed to safely study the planet.

Tragedy has struck in the kingdom of Elmon. The Dark Lord Nurotsus has returned after thousands of years and is trying once again to conquer the kingdom with is immense power and hordes of monsters and usurp the kingship from the current King Faran. As the war progresses and bad becomes worse, a glimmer of hope is finally discovered. When the Dark Lord appeared last, the gods forged a sacred sword to help the humans repel and in the end destroy him: the Elmonoria. Various wizards with the help of their arts have determined that the legendary blade is being kept by a sage of the Ents called Tamaron. The Ents are a race that live in the forests and woods of Elmon and are great sages and prophets. Tamaron himself is the wisest of them and was entrusted with caring for the sword in ancient times. He and his race are friendly to humans, but he knows that the Elmonoria contains great power and can only be wielded with one who has a noble heart and a desire to protect all the people of the kingdom, so he has devised various difficult trials to make sure that the sword doesn’t fall into incompetent hands. With no other hope known for the kingdom, King Faran has sent you, the only person he knows that should be capable of passing the trials, in haste to the Forest of Legends, the forest where Tamaron dwells, to attempt the trials, win the legendary sword, and learn afterwards how to control its immense power from the same Tamaron; for only then can the tides of the Dark Lord be turned and your kingdom saved. Are you up to such a task?
