Their hometown razed in a mysterious inferno, a self-doubting young man and his naive, childish half-elf friend depart on a quest to avenge those lost by discovering the source of the fire. Up against a megalomaniacal sorcerer and his headstrong apprentice, traveling under the guidance of the young man's brother, their exploits draw the ire of the magical organization that seeks to keep the world's forces in balance. Now, they must face their demons head-on in a world they barely understand, or risk losing everything.
