Classes in bold shows the initial class for that character The storyline follows the armies of Prince Garett of Baltia as they battle the Dalsis Empire and the monsters they unwittingly awaken, framed as a battle between the forces of good and an ancient evil that threatens to overrun the world.
King Alfador sees the castle will not be able to stand and urges his son Prince Garett to flee to the town of Sulras, both for his own safety and to gather reinforcements from Duke Carleon.
He leads a campaign to retake the Castle, freeing the prisoners, but Dalsis has already taken the treasure Baltia was protecting, the magic sword "Warsong".
He rescues the fortress' commander Bayard, and begins his march through the Dalsis Empire towards Emperor Pythion's palace.
Garett retakes Warsong and begins his campaign against the evil, fighting ever more powerful monsters along the way and eventually tracking their source to the dark land of Seneferia.
