Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land - once prosperous and peaceful, it
has now fallen into lawlessness, studded with feuding baronies engaged
in a constant state of war. The only hope for peace lies in the legend
of the Sleeping King: destined to rise and restore peace when the
Dwaerindim stones are recovered.
Lady Embra Silvertree is the
sorceress daughter of a bellicose baron with an eye towards world
domination. She has been imprisoned by her father who hopes to use her
as a magical battery to fortify his castle. When a pair of good natured
rogues attempt to steal one of her jewel encrusted gowns, they are
quickly enlisted as allies to help her escape and, with the aid of a
shape-shifting cleric, to seek out the Dwaerindim.
