The Story...
For five years the terrible conflict around the mysterious Shadows sundered
the country of the Dark Elves and fanned the flames of a civil war amongst them.
Even beyond the borders of their territories unrest prevails: a new power rises
in Eo, a threat that seems to spread its shadow over the whole realm and
endangers the people's ancient alliances.
Craig Un'Shallach, Dark Elf General and member of the Dracon caste, fights
alongside his clan against the influence of the ominous Shadows, but the tide of
war turns against him. When defeat seems imminent, his daughter Nightsong
escapes in order to warn of the approaching menace.
She flees into the borderlands between the realms of humans and the dark elves
to alarm the humans about the pact between Shadows and Dark Elves and of the
army of the Shadows, which advances under the guidance of the insane alchemist
Sorvina towards the realms of the light!
With this alarming knowledge Nightsong reaches the fortress of the Shaikan, the
legendary dragon warriors, bonded by blood with an ancient dragon, feared by the
races of light and darkness alike. There she receives the unexpected assistance
of a courageous Shaikan who joins her journey to tell the tale of the Shadows
and Sorvina and to save his homeland and family.
However, to resist the impeding doom powerful armies will be required. The
dormant alliance of light must be reforged, no easy task for two creatures
counted amongst the enemies of Light.
